Ah, you are right.

Actually thinking more about it, we don't need VM_WARN_ONCE on
CONFIG_THP IS_ENABLED, because if we go the route where a FS will
call something like `mapping_max_folio_order_supported()` during mount
time, that will already return `0` as the maximum order that will be
supported.

So just something like this should be enough:
diff --git a/include/linux/pagemap.h b/include/linux/pagemap.h
index 14e1415f7dcf..ef6b13854385 100644
--- a/include/linux/pagemap.h
+++ b/include/linux/pagemap.h
@@ -397,10 +397,18 @@ static inline void mapping_set_folio_order_range(struct address_space *mapping,
        if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE))
                return;
 
-       if (min > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER)
+       if (min > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER) {
+               VM_WARN_ONCE(1, 
+       "min order > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. Setting min_order to MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER");
                min = MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER;
-       if (max > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER)
+       }
+
+       if (max > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER) {
+               VM_WARN_ONCE(1, 
+       "max order > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. Setting max_order to MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER");
                max = MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER;
+       }
+
        if (max < min)
                max = min;

If we have a helper such as mapping_max_folio_order_supported() that
could be invoked by FSs to see what page cache could support.

And FSs that call mapping_set_large_folios() as an optimization will not
see these random WARNINGS because we call this function with the actual
min and max range.

Let me know what you think.
