With CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, the Linux kernel supports using THPs
for read-only mmapped files, such as shared libraries. However, the
kernel makes no attempt to actually align those mappings on 2MB
boundaries, which makes it impossible to use those THPs most of the
time. This issue applies to general file mapping THP as well as
existing setups using CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS. This is easily
fixed by using thp_get_unmapped_area for the unmapped_area function
in bcachefs, which is what ext2, ext4, fuse, xfs and btrfs all use.
Similar to commit b0c582233a ("btrfs: fix alignment of VMA for
memory mapped files on THP").

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 reStructuredText 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.
