[PATCH 10/12] mm/collapse: work out the orders a VMA allows once per VMA
From: Kiryl Shutsemau
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 11:22:45 EST
From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@xxxxxxxxxx>
The scan asked collapse_possible_orders() for every PTE table, for an
answer that is a property of the VMA. Both callers walk a VMA a table at
a time, so let them work it out once and pass the mask in. It is only
good while the lock that produced it is held, so madvise_collapse() takes
it again after every collapse.
The mask is then sampled once per VMA rather than once per table. A thp
enabled knob written during a walk takes effect one VMA later, and cannot
widen a collapse: hugepage_vma_revalidate() tests the order again under
the lock the collapse retakes.
