Subject: mm/khugepaged: introduce collapse_allowable_orders helper function
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 12:57:46 -0600
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.
