Subject: mm: shmem: ignore sysfs configs for shmem forced collapse
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:12:41 +0800

According to Documentation/mm/transhuge.rst, MADV_COLLAPSE is expected to
ignore any THP or mTHP interface settings.

However, after commit 26c7d8413aaf ("mm: thp: support "THPeligible"
semantics for mTHP with anonymous shmem"), performing MADV_COLLAPSE on
shmem will depend on /sys/.../hugepages-2048kB/shmem_enabled being set to
"inherit" (although that is the default), which can cause MADV_COLLAPSE to
fail unexpectedly.

This could cause a userspace-visible performance regression.

Fix this by returning the result of shmem_huge_global_enabled() directly
when MADV_COLLAPSE is requested, allowing PMD-order collapse while
ignoring shmem THP/mTHP settings.
