Add large folio support for tmpfs write and fallocate paths matching the same high order preference mechanism used in the iomap buffered IO path as used in __filemap_get_folio(). Add shmem_mapping_size_orders() to get a hint for the orders of the folio based on the file size which takes care of the mapping requirements. Traditionally, tmpfs only supported PMD-sized large folios. However nowadays with other file systems supporting any sized large folios, and extending anonymous to support mTHP, we should not restrict tmpfs to allocating only PMD-sized large folios, making it more special. Instead, we should allow tmpfs can allocate any sized large folios. Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the PMD-sized large folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to allow any sized large folios. The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option are: huge=never: no any sized large folios huge=always: any sized large folios huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with madvise() Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still allocate the PMD-sized huge folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is set. Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same semantics. The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs.

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.
