Since commiteca56ff906("mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting"), MM_SHMEMPAGES is added to separate the shmem accounting from regular files. So, all shmem pages should be accounted to MM_SHMEMPAGES instead of MM_FILEPAGES. And, normal 4K shmem pages have been accounted to MM_SHMEMPAGES, so shmem thp pages should be not treated differently. Account them to MM_SHMEMPAGES via mm_counter_file() since shmem pages are swap backed to keep consistent with normal 4K shmem pages. This will not change the rss counter of processes since shmem pages are still a part of it. The /proc/pid/status and /proc/pid/statm counters will however be more accurate wrt shmem usage, as originally intended. And aseca56ff906("mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting") mentioned, oom also could report more accurate "shmem-rss".

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
