[PATCH mm-unstable v17 10/14] mm/khugepaged: introduce collapse_allowable_orders helper function

From: Nico Pache

Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 15:02:24 EST


Add collapse_allowable_orders() to generalize THP order eligibility. The
function determines which THP orders are permitted based on collapse
context (khugepaged vs madv_collapse).

This consolidates collapse configuration logic and provides a clean
interface for future mTHP collapse support where the orders may be
different.
