When merging anonymous page vma, if the size of vma can fit in at least
one hugepage, the mm will be registered for khugepaged for collapsing
THP in the future.

But, it skips shmem vma. Doing so for shmem too, but not file-private
mapping, when merging vma in order to increase the odd to collapse
hugepage by khugepaged.

My point was that vma->anon_vma check above this one should not prevent
collapse for shmem.

Looking into this more, I think we should just replace all these checks
with hugepage_vma_check() call.

I got a little bit confused here. I thought the condition to *not* collapse file-private shmem mapping should be:

shmem_file(vma->vm_file) && vma->anon_vma

Is this right?

If it is right, it looks hugepage_vma_check() can't do this since it just returns true if shmem_file is true and it is page aligned without checking vma->anon_vma.

Thanks,
Yang
