[PATCH v6 01/14] mm/khugepaged: remove READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS check

From: Zi Yan

Date: Sun May 17 2026 - 09:57:17 EST


collapse_file() requires FSes supporting large folio with at least
PMD_ORDER, so replace the READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS check with that.
MADV_COLLAPSE ignores shmem huge config, so exclude the check for shmem.

While at it, replace VM_BUG_ON with VM_WARN_ON_ONCE.

Add a helper function mapping_pmd_folio_support() for FSes supporting
large folio with at least PMD_ORDER.
