Yeah, you are right. Current logic only covers multiple THPs within single
call of khugepaged_scan_file(). I missed the case you just described.
What do you think about the first 4 patches of set and the other set? If
these patches look good, how about we get them in first? I will work on
proper fix (or re-design) for 5/6 and 6/6 in the meanwhile.
Thanks,
