[PATCH] mm/THP: use hugepage_vma_check() in khugepaged_enter_vma_merge()

From: Song Liu
Date: Mon May 21 2018 - 14:44:34 EST


khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() is using a different approach to check
whether a vma is valid for khugepaged_enter():

if (!vma->anon_vma)
/*
* Not yet faulted in so we will register later in the
* page fault if needed.
*/
return 0;
if (vma->vm_ops || (vm_flags & VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED))
/* khugepaged not yet working on file or special mappings */
return 0;

This check has some problems. One of the obvious problems is that
it doesn't check shmem_file(), so that vma backed with shmem files
will not call khugepaged_enter().

This patch fixes these problems by reusing hugepage_vma_check() in
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge().
