From: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com Subject: mm/khugepaged: collapse_shmem() remember to clear holes
Huge tmpfs testing reminds us that there is no __GFP_ZERO in the gfp flags khugepaged uses to allocate a huge page - in all common cases it would just be a waste of effort - so collapse_shmem() must remember to clear out any holes that it instantiates.
The obvious place to do so, where they are put into the page cache tree, is not a good choice: because interrupts are disabled there. Leave it until further down, once success is assured, where the other pages are copied (before setting PageUptodate).
