[PATCH v1 00/10] Remove READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS Kconfig

[Zi Yan]

Hi all,

This patchset removes READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS Kconfig and enables creating
read-only THPs for FSes with large folio support (the supported orders
need to include PMD_ORDER) by default.

The changes are:
1. collapse_file() from mm/khugepaged.c, instead of checking
   CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, makes sure the mapping_max_folio_order()
   of struct address_space of the file is at least PMD_ORDER.
2. file_thp_enabled() also checks mapping_max_folio_order() instead.
3. truncate_inode_partial_folio() calls folio_split() directly instead
   of the removed try_folio_split_to_order(), since large folios can
   only show up on a FS with large folio support.
4. nr_thps is removed from struct address_space, since it is no longer
   needed to drop all read-only THPs from a FS without large folio
   support when the fd becomes writable. Its related filemap_nr_thps*()
   are removed too.
5. folio_check_splittable() no longer checks READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS.
6. Updated comments in various places.

Changelog

>From RFC[1]:
1. instead of removing READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS function entirely, turn it
   on by default for all FSes with large folio support and the supported
   orders includes PMD_ORDER.

Suggestions and comments are welcome.
