After the commit 7fb1b252afb5 ("mm: shmem: add mTHP support for
anonymous shmem"), we can configure different policies through
the multi-size THP sysfs interface for anonymous shmem. But
currently "THPeligible" indicates only whether the mapping is
eligible for allocating THP-pages as well as the THP is PMD
mappable or not for anonymous shmem, we need to support semantics
for mTHP with anonymous shmem similar to those for mTHP with
anonymous memory.

Afraid I haven't been following the shmem mTHP support work as much as I
would
have liked, but is there a reason why we need a separate function for
shmem?
Since shmem_allowable_huge_orders() only uses shmem specific logic to
determine
if huge orders are allowable, there is no need to complicate the
thp_vma_allowable_orders() function by adding more shmem related logic,
making
it more bloated. In my view, providing a dedicated helper
shmem_allowable_huge_orders(), specifically for shmem, simplifies the logic.
My point was really that a single interface (thp_vma_allowable_orders)
should be
used to get this information. I have no strong opinon on how the
implementation
of that interface looks. What you suggest below seems perfectly reasonable
to me.
Right. thp_vma_allowable_orders() might require some care as discussed in
other
context (cleanly separate dax and shmem handling/orders). But that would be
follow-up cleanups.
Are you planning to do that, or do you want me to send a patch?
I'm planning on looking into some details, especially the interaction with large
folios in the pagecache. I'll let you know once I have a better idea what
actually should be done :)
OK great - I'll scrub it from my todo list... really getting things done today :)
Resolved the khugepaged thiny already? :P
[khugepaged not active when only enabling the sub-size via the 2M folder IIRC]
Hmm... baby brain?
:)
I think I only mentioned it in a private mail at some point.
Sorry about that. I've been a bit useless lately. For some reason it wasn't on
my list, but its there now. Will prioritise it, because I agree it's not good.
IIRC, if you do
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-2048kB/enabled
khugepaged will not get activated.
