Its filename was mm-fs-remove-filemap_nr_thps-functions-and-their-users.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zi Yan Subject: mm: fs: remove filemap_nr_thps*() functions and their users Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 22:49:09 -0400 They are used by READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS to handle writes to FSes without large folio support, so that read-only THPs created in these FSes are not seen by the FSes when the underlying fd becomes writable. Now read-only PMD THPs only appear in a FS with large folio support and the supported orders include PMD_ORDRE. READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was using mapping->nr_thps, inode->i_writecount, and smp_mb() to prevent writes to a read-only THP and collapsing writable folios into a THP. In collapse_file(), mapping->nr_thps is increased, then smp_mb(), and if inode->i_writecount > 0, collapse is stopped, while do_dentry_open() first increases inode->i_writecount, then a full memory fence, and if mapping->nr_thps > 0, all read-only THPs are truncated. Now this mechanism can be removed along with READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS code, since a dirty folio check has been added after try_to_unmap() in collapse_file() to make sure no writable folio can be collapsed.
