Patch series "Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition", v2. Pankaj recently added folio_create_empty_buffers() as the folio equivalent to create_empty_buffers(). This patch set finishes the conversion by first converting all remaining filesystems to call folio_create_empty_buffers(), then renaming it back to create_empty_buffers(). I took the opportunity to make a few simplifications like making folio_create_empty_buffers() return the head buffer and extracting get_nth_bh() from nilfs2. A few of the patches in this series aren't directly related to create_empty_buffers(), but I saw them while I was working on this and thought they'd be easy enough to add to this series. Compile-tested only, other than ext4. This patch (of 26): Almost all callers want to know the first BH that was allocated for this folio. We already have that handy, so return it.

Most function calls in hugetlb.c are made with folio arguments. This brings hugetlb_vmemmap calls inline with them by using folio instead of head struct page. Head struct page is still needed within these functions. The set/clear/test functions for hugepages are also changed to folio versions.

Update the internal hugetlb restore vmemmap code path such that TLB flushing can be batched. Use the existing mechanism of passing the VMEMMAP_REMAP_NO_TLB_FLUSH flag to indicate flushing should not be performed for individual pages. The routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios is the only user of this new mechanism, and it will perform a global flush after all vmemmap is restored.

Now that a list of pages is deduplicated at once, the TLB flush can be batched for all vmemmap pages that got remapped. Expand the flags field value to pass whether to skip the TLB flush on remap of the PTE. The TLB flush is global as we don't have guarantees from caller that the set of folios is contiguous, or to add complexity in composing a list of kVAs to flush.

In an effort to minimize amount of TLB flushes, batch all PMD splits belonging to a range of pages in order to perform only 1 (global) TLB flush. Add a flags field to the walker and pass whether it's a bulk allocation or just a single page to decide to remap. First value (VMEMMAP_SPLIT_NO_TLB_FLUSH) designates the request to not do the TLB flush when we split the PMD.

Now that batching of hugetlb vmemmap optimization processing is possible, batch the freeing of vmemmap pages. When freeing vmemmap pages for a hugetlb page, we add them to a list that is freed after the entire batch has been processed. This enhances the ability to return contiguous ranges of memory to the low level allocators. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231019023113.345257-6-mike.kravetz@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

The routine update_and_free_pages_bulk already performs vmemmap restoration on the list of hugetlb pages in a separate step. In preparation for more functionality to be added in this step, create a new routine hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios() that will restore vmemmap for a list of folios. This new routine must provide sufficient feedback about errors and actual restoration performed so that update_and_free_pages_bulk can perform optimally. Special care must be taken when encountering an error from hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folios. We want to continue making as much forward progress as possible. A new routine bulk_vmemmap_restore_error handles this specific situation. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231019023113.345257-5-mike.kravetz@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

When adding hugetlb pages to the pool, we first create a list of the allocated pages before adding to the pool. Pass this list of pages to a new routine hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios() for vmemmap optimization. Due to significant differences in vmemmmap initialization for bootmem allocated hugetlb pages, a new routine prep_and_add_bootmem_folios is created. We also modify the routine vmemmap_should_optimize() to check for pages that are already optimized. There are code paths that might request vmemmap optimization twice and we want to make sure this is not attempted.

Allocation of a hugetlb page for the hugetlb pool is done by the routine alloc_pool_huge_page. This routine will allocate contiguous pages from a low level allocator, prep the pages for usage as a hugetlb page and then add the resulting hugetlb page to the pool. In the 'prep' stage, optional vmemmap optimization is done. For performance reasons we want to perform vmemmap optimization on multiple hugetlb pages at once. To do this, restructure the hugetlb pool allocation code such that vmemmap optimization can be isolated and later batched. The code to allocate hugetlb pages from bootmem was also modified to allow batching. No functional changes, only code restructure.

Patch series "Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations", v8. When hugetlb vmemmap optimization was introduced, the overhead of enabling the option was measured as described in commit 426e5c42 [1]. The summary states that allocating a hugetlb page should be ~2x slower with optimization and freeing a hugetlb page should be ~2-3x slower. Such overhead was deemed an acceptable trade off for the memory savings obtained by freeing vmemmap pages. It was recently reported that the overhead associated with enabling vmemmap optimization could be as high as 190x for hugetlb page allocations. Yes, 190x! Some actual numbers from other environments are: Bare Metal 8 socket Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 ------------------------------------------------ Unmodified next-20230824, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 0 time echo 500000 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m4.119s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m4.477s Unmodified next-20230824, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 1 time echo 500000 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m28.973s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m36.748s VM with 252 vcpus on host with 2 socket AMD EPYC 7J13 Milan ----------------------------------------------------------- Unmodified next-20230824, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 0 time echo 524288 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m2.463s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m2.931s Unmodified next-20230824, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 1 time echo 524288 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 2m27.609s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 2m29.924s In the VM environment, the slowdown of enabling hugetlb vmemmap optimization resulted in allocation times being 61x slower. A quick profile showed that the vast majority of this overhead was due to TLB flushing. Each time we modify the kernel pagetable we need to flush the TLB. For each hugetlb that is optimized, there could be potentially two TLB flushes performed. One for the vmemmap pages associated with the hugetlb page, and potentially another one if the vmemmap pages are mapped at the PMD level and must be split. The TLB flushes required for the kernel pagetable, result in a broadcast IPI with each CPU having to flush a range of pages, or do a global flush if a threshold is exceeded. So, the flush time increases with the number of CPUs. In addition, in virtual environments the broadcast IPI can’t be accelerated by hypervisor hardware and leads to traps that need to wakeup/IPI all vCPUs which is very expensive. Because of this the slowdown in virtual environments is even worse than bare metal as the number of vCPUS/CPUs is increased. The following series attempts to reduce amount of time spent in TLB flushing. The idea is to batch the vmemmap modification operations for multiple hugetlb pages. Instead of doing one or two TLB flushes for each page, we do two TLB flushes for each batch of pages. One flush after splitting pages mapped at the PMD level, and another after remapping vmemmap associated with all hugetlb pages. Results of such batching are as follows: Bare Metal 8 socket Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895 ------------------------------------------------ next-20230824 + Batching patches, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 0 time echo 500000 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m4.719s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m4.245s next-20230824 + Batching patches, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 1 time echo 500000 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m7.267s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m13.199s VM with 252 vcpus on host with 2 socket AMD EPYC 7J13 Milan ----------------------------------------------------------- next-20230824 + Batching patches, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 0 time echo 524288 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m2.715s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m3.186s next-20230824 + Batching patches, vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap = 1 time echo 524288 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m4.799s time echo 0 > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages real 0m5.273s With batching, results are back in the 2-3x slowdown range. This patch (of 8): update_and_free_pages_bulk is designed to free a list of hugetlb pages back to their associated lower level allocators. This may require allocating vmemmmap pages associated with each hugetlb page. The hugetlb page destructor must be changed before pages are freed to lower level allocators. However, the destructor must be changed under the hugetlb lock. This means there is potentially one lock cycle per page. Minimize the number of lock cycles in update_and_free_pages_bulk by: 1) allocating necessary vmemmap for all hugetlb pages on the list 2) take hugetlb lock and clear destructor for all pages on the list 3) free all pages on list back to low level allocators Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231019023113.345257-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231019023113.345257-2-mike.kravetz@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

If there is no memory allocation/freeing in the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) of a remote zone (zone in remote NUMA node) after some time (3 seconds for now), the pages of the PCP of the remote zone will be drained to avoid memory wastage. This behavior was introduced in the commit 4ae7c039 ("[PATCH] Periodically drain non local pagesets") and the commit 4037d452 ("Move remote node draining out of slab allocators") But, after the commit 7cc36bbd ("vmstat: on-demand vmstat workers V8"), the vmstat updater worker which is used to drain the PCP of remote zones may not be re-queued when we are waiting for the timeout (pcp->expire != 0) if there are no vmstat changes on this CPU, for example, when the CPU goes idle or runs user space only workloads. This may cause the pages of a remote zone be kept in PCP of this CPU for long time. So that, the page reclaiming of the remote zone may be triggered prematurely. This isn't a severe problem in practice, because the PCP of the remote zone will be drained if some memory are allocated/freed again on this CPU. And, the PCP will eventually be drained during the direct reclaiming if necessary. Anyway, the problem still deserves a fix via guaranteeing that the vmstat updater worker will always be re-queued when we are waiting for the timeout. In effect, this restores the original behavior before the commit 7cc36bbd. We can reproduce the bug via allocating/freeing pages from a remote zone then go idle as follows. And the patch can fix it. - Run some workloads, use `numactl` to bind CPU to node 0 and memory to node 1. So the PCP of the CPU on node 0 for zone on node 1 will be filled. - After workloads finish, idle for 60s - Check /proc/zoneinfo With the original kernel, the number of pages in the PCP of the CPU on node 0 for zone on node 1 is non-zero after idle. With the patched kernel, it becomes 0 after idle. That is, we avoid to keep pages in the remote PCP during idle.

In order for a F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to clear VM_MAYWRITE, we must be able to invoke the appropriate vm_ops->mmap() handler to do so. We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check before we had the opportunity to avoid it. This patch moves this check after the call_mmap() invocation. Only memfd actively denies write access causing a potential failure here (in memfd_add_seals()), so there should be no impact on non-memfd cases. This patch makes the userland-visible change that MAP_SHARED, PROT_READ mappings of an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping will now succeed. There is a delicate situation with cleanup paths assuming that a writable mapping must have occurred in circumstances where it may now not have. In order to ensure we do not accidentally mark a writable file unwritable by mistake, we explicitly track whether we have a writable mapping and unmap only if we do.

The seal_check_future_write() function is called by shmem_mmap() or hugetlbfs_file_mmap() to disallow any future writable mappings of an memfd sealed this way. The F_SEAL_WRITE flag is not checked here, as that is handled via the mapping->i_mmap_writable mechanism and so any attempt at a mapping would fail before this could be run. However we intend to change this, meaning this check can be performed for F_SEAL_WRITE mappings also. The logic here is equally applicable to both flags, so update this function to accommodate both and rename it accordingly.

Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4. The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following about F_SEAL_WRITE:- Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM. With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate. This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness. This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug report [2]. This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable. It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any point be written to. If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE. We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful consideration of error paths. Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion! [1]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230324133646.16101dfa666f253c4715d965@linux-foundation.org/ [2]:https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217238 This patch (of 3): There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the case. Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable field to explicitly test for this by introducing [vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions. This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees that the VMA cannot be written to.

The documentation says DAMOS tried regions update feature of DAMON sysfs interface is doing the update for one aggregation interval after the request is made.

DAMON_SYSFS assumes all schemes will be applied for at least one DAMON monitoring results snapshot within one aggregation interval, or makes no sense to wait for it while DAMON is deactivated by the watermarks. That for deactivated status still makes sense, but the aggregation interval based assumption is invalid now because each scheme can has its own apply interval. For schemes having larger than the aggregation or watermarks check interval, DAMOS tried regions update request can be finished without the update. Avoid the case by explicitly checking the status of the schemes tried regions update and watermarks based DAMON deactivation.

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval". DAMOS tried regions update feature of DAMON sysfs interface is doing the update for one aggregation interval after the request is made. Since the per-scheme apply interval is supported, that behavior makes no much sense. That is, the tried regions directory will have regions from multiple DAMON monitoring results snapshots, or no region for apply intervals that much shorter than, or longer than the aggregation interval, respectively. Update the behavior to update the regions for each scheme for only its apply interval, and update the document. Since DAMOS apply interval is the aggregation by default, this change makes no visible behavioral difference to old users who don't explicitly set the apply intervals. Patches Sequence ---------------- The first two patches makes schemes of apply intervals that much shorter or longer than the aggregation interval to keep the maximum and minimum times for continuing the update. After the two patches, the update aligns with the each scheme's apply interval. Finally, the third patch updates the document to reflect the behavior. This patch (of 3): DAMON_SYSFS exposes every DAMON-found region that eligible for applying the scheme action for one aggregation interval. However, each DAMON-based operation scheme has its own apply interval. Hence, for a scheme that having its apply interval much smaller than the aggregation interval, DAMON_SYSFS will expose the scheme regions that applied to more than one DAMON monitoring results snapshots. Since the purpose of DAMON tried regions is exposing single snapshot, this makes no much sense. Track progress of each scheme's tried regions update and avoid the case.

Furthermore prevent the misuse of the commandline arguments so only one compare option can be used. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231013190350.579407-5-audra@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

With the introduction of allocation timestamps being included in page_owner output, each record becomes unique due to the timestamp nanosecond granularity. Remove the check in add_list that tries to collate each record during processing as the memcmp() is just additional overhead at this point. Also keep the allocation timestamps, but allow collation to occur without consideration of the allocation timestamp except in the case were allocation timestamps are requested by the user (the -a option).

Patch series "Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps". While page ower output is used to investigate memory utilization, typically the allocation pathway, the introduction of timestamps to the page owner records caused each record to become unique due to the granularity of the nanosecond timestamp (for example): Page allocated via order 0 ... ts 5206196026 ns, free_ts 5187156703 ns Page allocated via order 0 ... ts 5206198540 ns, free_ts 5187162702 ns Furthermore, the page_owner output only dumps the currently allocated records, so having the free timestamps is nonsensical for the typical use case. In addition, the introduction of timestamps was not properly handled in the page_owner_sort tool causing most use cases to be broken. This series is meant to remove the free timestamps from the page_owner output and fix the page_owner_sort tool so proper collation can occur. This patch (of 5): When printing page_owner data via the sysfs interface, no free pages will ever be dumped due to the series of checks in read_page_owner(): /* * Although we do have the info about past allocation of free * pages, it's not relevant for current memory usage. */ if (!test_bit(PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ALLOCATED, &page_ext->flags)) The free_ts values are still used when dump_page_owner() is called, so keeping the field for other use cases but removing them for the typical page_owner case.

mremap uses vma_merge() in the case where a VMA needs to be extended. This can be significantly simplified and abstracted. This makes it far easier to understand what the actual function is doing, avoids future mistakes in use of the confusing vma_merge() function and importantly allows us to make future changes to how vma_merge() is implemented by knowing explicitly which merge cases each invocation uses. Note that in the mremap() extend case, we perform this merge only when old_len == vma->vm_end - addr. The extension_start, i.e. the start of the extended portion of the VMA is equal to addr + old_len, i.e. vma->vm_end. With this refactoring, vma_merge() is no longer required anywhere except mm/mmap.c, so mark it static.

Only in mmap_region() and copy_vma() do we attempt to merge VMAs which occupy entirely new regions of virtual memory. We can abstract this logic and make the intent of this invocations of it completely explicit, rather than invoking vma_merge() with an inscrutable wall of parameters. This also paves the way for a simplification of the core vma_merge() implementation, as we seek to make it entirely an implementation detail. The VMA merge call in mmap_region() occurs only for file-backed mappings, where each of the parameters previously specified as NULL are defaulted to NULL in vma_init() (called by vm_area_alloc()). This matches the previous behaviour of specifying NULL for a number of fields, however note that prior to this call we pass the VMA to the file system driver via call_mmap(), which may in theory adjust fields that we pass in to vma_merge_new_vma(). Therefore we actually resolve an oversight here by allowing for the fact that the driver may have done this.

Now the common pattern of - attempting a merge via vma_merge() and should this fail splitting VMAs via split_vma() - has been abstracted, the former can be placed into mm/internal.h and the latter made static. In addition, the split_vma() nommu variant also need not be exported. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/405f2be10e20c4e9fbcc9fe6b2dfea105f6642e0.1697043508.git.lstoakes@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

mprotect() and other functions which change VMA parameters over a range each employ a pattern of:- 1. Attempt to merge the range with adjacent VMAs. 2. If this fails, and the range spans a subset of the VMA, split it accordingly. This is open-coded and duplicated in each case. Also in each case most of the parameters passed to vma_merge() remain the same. Create a new function, vma_modify(), which abstracts this operation, accepting only those parameters which can be changed. To avoid the mess of invoking each function call with unnecessary parameters, create inline wrapper functions for each of the modify operations, parameterised only by what is required to perform the action. We can also significantly simplify the logic - by returning the VMA if we split (or merged VMA if we do not) we no longer need specific handling for merge/split cases in any of the call sites. Note that the userfaultfd_release() case works even though it does not split VMAs - since start is set to vma->vm_start and end is set to vma->vm_end, the split logic does not trigger. In addition, since we calculate pgoff to be equal to vma->vm_pgoff + (start - vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT, and start - vma->vm_start will be 0 in this instance, this invocation will remain unchanged. We eliminate a VM_WARN_ON() in mprotect_fixup() as this simply asserts that vma_merge() correctly ensures that flags remain the same, something that is already checked in is_mergeable_vma() and elsewhere, and in any case is not specific to mprotect().

Patch series "Abstract vma_merge() and split_vma()", v4. The vma_merge() interface is very confusing and its implementation has led to numerous bugs as a result of that confusion. In addition there is duplication both in invocation of vma_merge(), but also in the common mprotect()-style pattern of attempting a merge, then if this fails, splitting the portion of a VMA about to have its attributes changed. This pattern has been copy/pasted around the kernel in each instance where such an operation has been required, each very slightly modified from the last to make it even harder to decipher what is going on. Simplify the whole thing by dividing the actual uses of vma_merge() and split_vma() into specific and abstracted functions and de-duplicate the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern altogether. Doing so also opens the door to changing how vma_merge() is implemented - by knowing precisely what cases a caller is invoking rather than having a central interface where anything might happen we can untangle the brittle and confusing vma_merge() implementation into something more workable. For mprotect()-like cases we introduce vma_modify() which performs the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern, returning a pointer to either the merged or split VMA or an ERR_PTR(err) if the splits fail. We provide a number of inline helper functions to make things even clearer:- * vma_modify_flags() - Prepare to modify the VMA's flags. * vma_modify_flags_name() - Prepare to modify the VMA's flags/anon_vma_name * vma_modify_policy() - Prepare to modify the VMA's mempolicy. * vma_modify_flags_uffd() - Prepare to modify the VMA's flags/uffd context. For cases where a new VMA is attempted to be merged with adjacent VMAs we add:- * vma_merge_new_vma() - Prepare to merge a new VMA. * vma_merge_extend() - Prepare to extend the end of a new VMA. This patch (of 5): The vma_policy() define is a helper specifically for a VMA field so it makes sense to host it in the memory management types header. The anon_vma_name(), anon_vma_name_alloc() and anon_vma_name_free() functions are a little out of place in mm_inline.h as they define external functions, and so it makes sense to locate them in mm_types.h. The purpose of these relocations is to make it possible to abstract static inline wrappers which invoke both of these helpers.

When mprotect() is used to make unwritable VMAs writable, they have the VM_ACCOUNT flag applied and memory accounted accordingly. If the VMA has had no pages faulted in and is then made unwritable once again, it will remain accounted for, despite not being capable of extending memory usage. Consider:- ptr = mmap(NULL, page_size * 3, PROT_READ, MAP_ANON | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); mprotect(ptr + page_size, page_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE); mprotect(ptr + page_size, page_size, PROT_READ); The first mprotect() splits the range into 3 VMAs and the second fails to merge the three as the middle VMA has VM_ACCOUNT set and the others do not, rendering them unmergeable. This is unnecessary, since no pages have actually been allocated and the middle VMA is not capable of utilising more memory, thereby introducing unnecessary VMA fragmentation (and accounting for more memory than is necessary). Since we cannot efficiently determine which pages map to an anonymous VMA, we have to be very conservative - determining whether any pages at all have been faulted in, by checking whether vma->anon_vma is NULL. We can see that the lack of anon_vma implies that no anonymous pages are present as evidenced by vma_needs_copy() utilising this on fork to determine whether page tables need to be copied. The only place where anon_vma is set NULL explicitly is on fork with VM_WIPEONFORK set, however since this flag is intended to cause the child process to not CoW on a given memory range, it is right to interpret this as indicating the VMA has no faulted-in anonymous memory mapped. If the VMA was forked without VM_WIPEONFORK set, then anon_vma_fork() will have ensured that a new anon_vma is assigned (and correctly related to its parent anon_vma) should any pages be CoW-mapped. The overall operation is safe against races as we hold a write lock against mm->mmap_lock. If we could efficiently look up the VMA's faulted-in pages then we would unaccount all those pages not yet faulted in. However as the original comment alludes this simply isn't currently possible, so we are conservative and account all pages or none at all.

The 6.0 commits: commit 9fec5168 ("mm: thp: kill transparent_hugepage_active()") commit 7da4e2cb ("mm: thp: kill __transhuge_page_enabled()") merged "can we have THPs in this VMA?" logic that was previously done separately by fault-path, khugepaged, and smaps "THPeligible" checks. During the process, the semantics of the fault path check changed in two ways: 1) A VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED check was introduced (also added to smaps path). 2) We no longer checked if non-anonymous memory had a vm_ops->huge_fault handler that could satisfy the fault. Previously, this check had been done in create_huge_pud() and create_huge_pmd() routines, but after the changes, we never reach those routines. During the review of the above commits, it was determined that in-tree users weren't affected by the change; most notably, since the only relevant user (in terms of THP) of VM_MIXEDMAP or ->huge_fault is DAX, which is explicitly approved early in approval logic. However, this was a bad assumption to make as it assumes the only reason to support ->huge_fault was for DAX (which is not true in general). Remove the VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED check when not in collapse path and give any ->huge_fault handler a chance to handle the fault. Note that we don't validate the file mode or mapping alignment, which is consistent with the behavior before the aforementioned commits.
