Decrease nr_thps counter in file's mapping to ensure that the page cache won't be dropped excessively on file write access if page has been already split. I've tried a test scenario running a big binary, kernel remaps it with THPs, then force a THP split with /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages. During any further open of that binary with O_RDWR or O_WRITEONLY kernel drops page cache for it, because of non-zero thps counter.

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.
