               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

test_bit(MMF_THP_DISABLE) ?

And I am not sure this and another check in transparent_hugepage_enabled
is actually right...

I think that MMF_THP_DISABLE_MASK should not disable thp if this
vma has VM_HUGEPAGE set, iow perhaps madvise() should work even
after PR_SET_THP_DISABLE?

IOW, MMF_THP_DISABLE should act as khugepaged_req_madv().

But again, I won't argue.
