Subject: [PATCH v14 132/138] mm/vmscan: Free non-shmem THPs without splitting them
Date:   Thu, 15 Jul 2021 04:36:58 +0100

We have to allocate memory in order to split a file-backed page,
so it's not a good idea to split them.  It also doesn't work for XFS
because pages have an extra reference count from page_has_private() and
split_huge_page() expects that reference to have already been removed.
Unfortunately, we still have to split shmem THPs because we can't handle
swapping out an entire THP yet.
