From: Yang Shi shy828301@gmail.com Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2021 14:36:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: khugepaged: skip huge page collapse for special files

The read-only THP for filesystems will collapse THP for files opened readonly and mapped with VM_EXEC. The intended usecase is to avoid TLB misses for large text segments. But it doesn't restrict the file types so a THP could be collapsed for a non-regular file, for example, block device, if it is opened readonly and mapped with EXEC permission. This may cause bugs, like [1] and [2].

This is definitely not the intended usecase, so just collapse THP for regular files in order to close the attack surface.
