khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() is using a different approach to check whether a vma is valid for khugepaged_enter(): if (!vma->anon_vma) /* * Not yet faulted in so we will register later in the * page fault if needed. */ return 0; if (vma->vm_ops || (vm_flags & VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED)) /* khugepaged not yet working on file or special mappings */ return 0; This check has some problems. One of the obvious problems is that it doesn't check shmem_file(), so that vma backed with shmem files will not call khugepaged_enter(). This patch fixes these problems by reusing hugepage_vma_check() in khugepaged_enter_vma_merge().
