IMO, it might be cleaner to drop the huge parameter and just set 'orders' as
BIT(HPAGE_PMD_ORDER), then we only do the 'orders' check :)

Likely:

if (orders > 0) {
       if (vma && vma_is_anon_shmem(vma)) {
              ...
       } else if (orders & BIT(HPAGE_PMD_ORDER)) {
              ...
       }
}

Currently, if THP is disabled, 'huge' will fall back to order-0, but 'orders'
does not, IIUC. How about we make both consistent if THP is disabled?

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE)) {
        huge = false;
        orders = 0;
}

Thanks,
