Barry Song 68dbcf4899 mm: alloc_anon_folio: avoid doing vma_thp_gfp_mask in fallback cases
Fallback rates surpassing 90% have been observed on phones utilizing 64KiB
CONT-PTE mTHP.  In these scenarios, when one out of every 16 PTEs fails to
allocate large folios, the remaining 15 PTEs fallback.  Consequently,
invoking vma_thp_gfp_mask seems redundant in such cases.  Furthermore,
abstaining from its use can also contribute to improved code readability.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
