Subject: mm/khugepaged: introduce collapse_possible_orders helper functions
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 10:14:17 -0600

Add collapse_possible_orders() to generalize THP order eligibility.  The
function determines which THP orders are permitted based on collapse
context (khugepaged vs madv_collapse).  We also add collapse_possible() as
a thin wrapper around collapse_possible_orders() that returns a bool
rather than the whole bitmap.

This consolidates collapse configuration logic and provides a clean
interface for future mTHP collapse support where the orders may be
different.
