That's VM_BUG_ON_VMA(vma->vm_flags & VM_NO_THP, vma) in
hugepage_vma_check().
#define VM_NO_THP (VM_SPECIAL | VM_HUGETLB | VM_SHARED | VM_MAYSHARE)
#define VM_SPECIAL (VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP)
Of those, we have VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND.
I don't know if it's valid for a vma with anon_vma to have such flags,
if yes, we should probably modify hugepage_vma_check(). Called from
khugepaged_scan_mm_slot() it should just return false out VM_NO_THP.
Called from collapse_huge_page() it could keep the VM_BUG_ON. Or maybe
just have VM_BUG_ON(!hugepage_vma_check()) there? Hmm actually no,
there's a mmap_sem release for read and then acquire for write, so we
can't rely on the check done earlier from khugepaged_scan_mm_slot().
So we should probably just change the VM_BUG_ON to another "return
false" condition. Unless the VM_BUG_ON uncovered a real bug and the
earlier conditions in hugepage_vma_check() should guarantee the
VM_BUG_ON be false for any vma.
