Today, if an architecture implements has_transparent_hugepage() and the CPU
lacks support for PMD-sized pages, the THP code disables all THP, including
mTHP. In addition, the kernel lacks a well defined API to check for
PMD-sized page support. It currently relies on has_transparent_hugepage()
and thp_disabled_by_hw(), but they are not well defined and are tied to
THP support.

This series addresses both issues by introducing a new well defined API
to query PMD-sized page support: pgtable_has_pmd_leaves(). Using this
new helper, we ensure that mTHP remains enabled even when the
architecture or CPU doesn't support PMD-sized pages.

Thanks to David Hildenbrand for suggesting this improvement and for
providing guidance (all bugs and misconceptions are mine).

This applies to Linus tree eb3f4b7426cf ("Merge tag 'nfsd-7.1-2'
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux")

NOTE: I used Claude Code Opus 4.6 to review the series before
posting. No issues found.

The tmpfs.rst doc references the has_transparent_hugepage() helper, which
is an implementation detail in the kernel and not relevant for users
wishing to properly configure THP support for tmpfs. Remove it.

Today, shmem_getattr() sets stat->blksize to PMD size whenever
shmem_huge_global_enabled() returns non-zero. While this works fine
for the normal THP-enabled case as explained by Baolin in [1], this
has two problems:

 1. Theoretically, when shmem is configured for within_size, this
    could set blksize to PMD size even though the allocation may
    be a smaller mTHP order

 2. A future commit will allow shmem THP support to be enabled
    even when the CPU doesn't support PMD-sized pages. We should
    not allow blksize to be set to PMD size in this case

In order to fix #1 and prepare for #2, this commit sets blksize
to the size of the highest supported order returned by
shmem_huge_global_enabled().

	vishal.l.verma, dave.jiang, akpm, yintirui, ljs

Currently, we have two helpers that check for PMD-sized pages but have
different names and slightly different semantics:

- has_transparent_hugepage(): the name suggests it checks if THP is
  enabled, but when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y and the architecture
  implements this helper, it actually checks if the CPU supports
  PMD-sized pages

- thp_disabled_by_hw(): the name suggests it checks if THP is disabled
  by the hardware, but it just returns a cached value acquired with
  has_transparent_hugepage(). This helper is used in fast paths

This commit introduces a new helper called pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()
which is intended to replace both has_transparent_hugepage() and
thp_disabled_by_hw(). pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() has very clear semantics:
it returns true if the CPU supports PMD-sized pages and false otherwise.
It always returns a cached value, so it can be used in fast paths.

The new helper requires an initialization step which is performed by
pgtable_leaf_support_init(). We call pgtable_leaf_support_init() early
during boot from mm_core_init().

The next commits will convert users of both has_transparent_hugepage()
and thp_disabled_by_hw() to pgtable_has_pmd_leaves().

nd_pfn_supported_alignments() and nd_pfn_default_alignment() use
has_transparent_hugepage() to check if THP is supported with PMD-sized
pages. Use pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() instead. Also, check for
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) to preserve the current

debug_vm_pgtable calls has_transparent_hugepage() in multiple places to
check if PMD-sized pages are supported, use pgtable_has_pmd_leaves()
instead.

  Cc: corbet, tsbogend, maddy, mpe, agordeev, gerald.schaefer, hca, gor,

	vishal.l.verma, dave.jiang, akpm, yintirui, ljs

In order to enable THP support in shmem today, besides the user
configuration required, the CPU must support PMD-sized pages. This
is the case because of the following has_transparent_hugepage()
usage:

- shmem_parse_one() and shmem_parse_huge(): Check if THP is built-in and
  if the CPU supports PMD-sized pages

- shmem_init(): Since the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE guard is outside
  the code block calling has_transparent_hugepage(), the
  has_transparent_hugepage() call is exclusively checking if the CPU
  supports PMD-sized pages

While it's necessary to check if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled
in all cases, shmem can determine THP size support at folio allocation
time. Therefore, drop the has_transparent_hugepage() usage listed above
while keeping the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE checks.

Additionally, we need to check if PMD size order is supported in
shmem_getattr(). Use pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() for that.

has_transparent_hugepage() definition is guarded by
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but there's a need to use it when
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n. Move the definition out of the THP guard.

	vishal.l.verma, dave.jiang, akpm, yintirui, ljs

Now that all the has_transparent_hugepage() callers have been converted
to pgtable_has_pmd_leaves(), this commit does two things:

1. Rename has_transparent_hugepage() arch implementations to
   arch_has_pmd_leaves(), since that's what the helper checks for

2. Introduce the default implementation of arch_has_pmd_leaves() as
   IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE). This means that if
   the arch doesn't implement arch_has_pmd_leaves() we default to checking
   CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE as a way to determine if
   PMD-sized pages are supported

Note that arch_has_pmd_leaves() is supposed to be called only by
init_arch_has_pmd_leaves(). The remaining exception is hugepage_init()
which will be converted in a future commit.

Despite its name, thp_disabled_by_hw() just checks whether the
architecture supports PMD-sized pages. It returns true when
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_UNSUPPORTED is set in transparent_hugepage_flags,
this only occurs if the architecture implements arch_has_pmd_leaves()
and that function returns false.

Since pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() provides the same semantics, use it
instead.

If PMD-sized pages are not supported on an architecture (ie. the
arch implements arch_has_pmd_leaves() and it returns false) then the
current code disables all THP, including mTHP.

This commit fixes this by allowing mTHP to be always enabled for all
archs. When PMD-sized pages are not supported, its sysfs entry won't be
created and their mapping will be disallowed at page-fault time.

Similarly, this commit implements the following changes for shmem in
shmem_allowable_huge_orders():

 - Drop the pgtable_has_pmd_leaves() check so that mTHP sizes are
   considered
 - Filter out PMD and PUD orders from allowable orders when
   PMD-sized pages are not supported by the CPU
