mm: thp: pass correct vm_flags to hugepage_vma_check()
khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() passes a stale vma->vm_flags to hugepage_vma_check(). The argument vm_flags contains the latest value. Therefore, it is necessary to pass this vm_flags into hugepage_vma_check(). With this bug, madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) for mmap files in shmem fails to put memory in huge pages. Here is an example of failed madvise(): /* mount /dev/shm with huge=advise: * mount -o remount,huge=advise /dev/shm */ /* create file /dev/shm/huge */ #define HUGE_FILE "/dev/shm/huge" fd = open(HUGE_FILE, O_RDONLY); ptr = mmap(NULL, FILE_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); ret = madvise(ptr, FILE_SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE); madvise() will return 0, but this memory region is never put in huge page (check from /proc/meminfo: ShmemHugePages).
