Patch series "Support large folios for tmpfs", v3. Traditionally, tmpfs only supported PMD-sized large folios. However nowadays with other file systems supporting any sized large folios, and extending anonymous to support mTHP, we should not restrict tmpfs to allocating only PMD-sized large folios, making it more special. Instead, we should allow tmpfs can allocate any sized large folios. Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the PMD-sized large folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to allow any sized large folios. The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option are: huge=never: no any sized large folios huge=always: any sized large folios huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with madvise() Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still allocate the PMD-sized large folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is set. Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same semantics. The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs. This patch (of 6): Factor out the order calculation into a new helper, which can be reused by shmem in the following patch.
