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.
