Subject: [PATCH v9 mm-new 01/11] mm: thp: remove vm_flags parameter from khugepaged_enter_vma()
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 13:58:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930055826.9810-2-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250930055826.9810-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>

The khugepaged_enter_vma() function requires handling in two specific
scenarios:
1. New VMA creation
  When a new VMA is created (for anon vma, it is deferred to pagefault), if
  vma->vm_mm is not present in khugepaged_mm_slot, it must be added. In
  this case, khugepaged_enter_vma() is called after vma->vm_flags have been
  set, allowing direct use of the VMA's flags.
2. VMA flag modification
  When vma->vm_flags are modified (particularly when VM_HUGEPAGE is set),
  the system must recheck whether to add vma->vm_mm to khugepaged_mm_slot.
  Currently, khugepaged_enter_vma() is called before the flag update, so
  the call must be relocated to occur after vma->vm_flags have been set.

In the VMA merging path, khugepaged_enter_vma() is also called. For this
case, since VMA merging only occurs when the vm_flags of both VMAs are
identical (excluding special flags like VM_SOFTDIRTY), we can safely use
target->vm_flags instead. (It is worth noting that khugepaged_enter_vma()
can be removed from the VMA merging path because the VMA has already been
added in the two aforementioned cases. We will address this cleanup in a
separate patch.)

After this change, we can further remove vm_flags parameter from
thp_vma_allowable_order(). That will be handled in a followup patch.
