[PATCH 0/1] mm/khugepaged: map anonymous pte-mapped THPs by pmds

[Xu Yu <xuyu@linux.alibaba.com>]

I write a testcase[1] to demonstrate this scenario.

vanilla kernel (v6.6):
# ./test
[mmap rw    ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x110000, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 1
[mprotect ro] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x110000, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
          ^^ __split_huge_pmd() is called in  change_protection()
[mprotect rw] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x110000, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
          ^^ vma_merge()
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x110000, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x110000, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x117a00, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 1
         ^^ hpage_collapse_scan_pmd         ^^^^^^^^ new hugepage is allocated
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x117a00, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 1

patched kernel:
# ./test
[mmap rw    ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x128400, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 1
[mprotect ro] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x128400, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
[mprotect rw] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x128400, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x128400, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x128400, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 0
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x128400, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 1
         ^^ hpage_collapse_scan_pmd         ^^^^^^^^ old hugepage
[khugepaged ] vaddr: 0x0x7f2000000000, pfn: 0x128400, is_thp: 1, is_thp_mapped: 1
