When it's set, TTM tries to allocate huge pages if possible.
Do you mean original driver doesn't do this? From the code, driver always try huge pages if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled.
Right, before this change, TTM would do this unconditionally for all drivers. The point of this change is not to incur any huge page related overhead for drivers which can't take advantage of huge pages anyway. I'll try changing the commit log to make this clearer in v2.
