[ Upstream commit 4127caee89612a84adedd78c9453089138cd5afe ]
There are mainly two reasons that thp_get_unmapped_area() should be
used for EROFS as other filesystems:
- It's needed to enable PMD mappings as a FSDAX filesystem, see
commit 74d2fad1334d ("thp, dax: add thp_get_unmapped_area for pmd
mappings");
- It's useful together with large folios and
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS which enable THPs for mmapped files
(e.g. shared libraries) even without FSDAX. See commit 1854bc6e2420
("mm/readahead: Align file mappings for non-DAX").
Fixes: 06252e9ce05b ("erofs: dax support for non-tailpacking regular file")
Fixes: ce529cc25b18 ("erofs: enable large folios for iomap mode")
Fixes: e6687b89225e ("erofs: enable large folios for fscache mode")

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 Restructured Text 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.
