We could check MMF_DISABLE_THP ahead of iterating over all of vma.
Otherwise if some mm_struct contain a large number of vma, there will
be amounts meaningless cpu cycles cost.
BTW, drop an unnecessary cond_resched(), because there is a another
cond_resched() followed it and no consumed invocation between them.

It is fine to check this flag. But mmap_lock has been acquired so you
should jump to breakouterloop.
Oops! It's my fault. Thank you for pointing out this.
Will fix it in v2.

I don't have a strong opinion for removing this cond_resched(). But
IIUC khugepaged is a best effort job there is no harm to keep it IMHO.
Yes, keeping it is no harm. But I think we should add it when we need.
Look at the blow codes, there are only some simple check between these
two cond_resched(). And we still have some cond_resched() in the
khugepaged_scan_file() and khugepaged_scan_pmd() which is the actual
wrok about collapsing. So I think it is unnecessary. :)
BTW, the original author add this cond_resched() might be worry about
the hugepage_vma_check() always return false due to the MMF_DISABLE_THP.
But now we have moved it out of the for loop of iterating vma.
um.. That is my guess..
Thanks,
