Subject: [PATCH 03/23] thp: compile-time and sysfs knob for thp pagecache
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>
For now, TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PAGECACHE is only implemented for x86_64.
Radix tree perload overhead can be significant on BASE_SMALL systems, so
let's add dependency on !BASE_SMALL.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/page_cache is runtime knob for the
feature. It's enabled by default if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PAGECACHE is
enabled.

+If TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PAGECACHE is enabled kernel will use huge pages in
+page cache if possible. It can be disable and re-enabled via sysfs:
+
+echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/page_cache
+echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/page_cache
+
+If it's disabled kernel will not add new huge pages to page cache and
+split them on mapping, but already mapped pages will stay intakt.
+
It's also possible to limit defrag efforts in the VM to generate
hugepages in case they're not immediately free to madvise regions or
to never try to defrag memory and simply fallback to regular pages
