When merging anonymous page vma, if the size of vma can fit in at least

But, it skips shmem vma. Doing so for shmem too, but not file-private
mapping, when merging vma in order to increase the odd to collapse
hugepage by khugepaged.

My point was that vma->anon_vma check above this one should not prevent
collapse for shmem.
Looking into this more, I think we should just replace all these checks
with hugepage_vma_check() call.
I got a little bit confused here. I thought the condition to *not* collapse
file-private shmem mapping should be:
shmem_file(vma->vm_file) && vma->anon_vma
Is this right?
No, if shmem_file(vma->vm_file) is true, vma->anon_vma doesn't matter.
We don't care about anon_vma in such VMA as we don't touch file-private
pages.
Thanks, I misunderstood that. hugepage_vma_check() sounds reasonable.
Will fix in v3 soon.
