Many thanks for your quick respond and Reviewed-by tag!

Many thanks for your comment. I referred to what hugepage_vma_check() does about
Read-only file mappings when I came up this patch. But it seems I am miss something.
Take the new patch into account, the check for READ_ONLY_THP now should be:

diff --git a/mm/huge_memory.c b/mm/huge_memory.c
index 76ca1eb2a223..a46a558233b4 100644
--- a/mm/huge_memory.c
+++ b/mm/huge_memory.c
@@ -74,6 +74,10 @@ bool transparent_hugepage_enabled(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
                return __transparent_hugepage_enabled(vma);
        if (vma_is_shmem(vma))
                return shmem_huge_enabled(vma);
+       if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS) && vma->vm_file &&
+           !inode_is_open_for_write(vma->vm_file->f_inode) &&
+           (vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
+               return true;

        return false;
 }

Am I miss something about checking for READ_ONLY_THP case? Or READ_ONLY_THP case is ok
but other case is missed? Could you please explain this more detailed for me?

Many thanks!
