Subject: mm: khugepaged: skip huge page collapse for special files
The read-only THP for filesystems will collapse THP for files opened
readonly and mapped with VM_EXEC. The intended usecase is to avoid TLB
misses for large text segments. But it doesn't restrict the file types so
a THP could be collapsed for a non-regular file, for example, block
device, if it is opened readonly and mapped with EXEC permission. This
may cause bugs, like [1] and [2].
This is definitely not the intended usecase, so just collapse THP for
regular files in order to close the attack surface.
