khugepaged's collapse_file() currently uses SGP_NOHUGE to tell shmem_getpage() not to try allocating a huge page, in the very unlikely event that a racing hole-punch removes the swapped or fallocated page as soon as i_pages lock is dropped. We want to consolidate shmem's huge decisions, removing SGP_HUGE and SGP_NOHUGE; but cannot quite persuade ourselves that it's okay to regress the protection in this case - Yang Shi points out that the huge page would remain indefinitely, charged to root instead of the intended memcg. collapse_file() should not even allocate a small page in this case: why proceed if someone is punching a hole? SGP_READ is almost the right flag here, except that it optimizes away from a fallocated page, with NULL to tell caller to fill with zeroes (like a hole); whereas collapse_file()'s sequence relies on using a cache page. Add SGP_NOALLOC just for this. There are too many consecutive "if (page"s there in shmem_getpage_gfp(): group it better; and fix the outdated "bring it back from swap" comment.

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.
