Subject: tmpfs: don't enable large folios if not supported
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2024 22:17:42 +0800

tmpfs can support large folios, but there are some configurable options
(mount options and runtime deny/force) to enable/disable large folio
allocation, so there is a performance issue when performing writes without
large folios.  The issue is similar to commit 4e527d5841e2 ("iomap: fault
in smaller chunks for non-large folio mappings").

Since 'deny' is for emergencies and 'force' is for testing, performance
issues should not be a problem in real production environments, so don't
call mapping_set_large_folios() in __shmem_get_inode() when large folio is
disabled with mount huge=never option (default policy).
