The 6.0 commits: commit9fec51689f("mm: thp: kill transparent_hugepage_active()") commit7da4e2cb8b("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
