[PATCH] mm/huge_memory: replace VM_NO_THP VM_BUG_ON with actual VMA check

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Sat Apr 02 2016 - 11:37:57 EST


Khugepaged detects own VMAs by checking vm_file and vm_ops but this
way it cannot distinguish private /dev/zero mappings from other special
mappings like /dev/hpet which has no vm_ops and popultes PTEs in mmap.

This fixes false-positive VM_BUG_ON and prevents installing THP where
they are not expected.
