Subject: [PATCH 08/24] huge tmpfs: prepare huge=N mount option and
/proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge
Plumb in a new "huge=1" or "huge=0" mount option to tmpfs: I don't
want to get into a maze of boot options, madvises and fadvises at
this stage, nor extend the use of the existing THP tuning to tmpfs;
though either might be pursued later on. We just want a way to ask
a tmpfs filesystem to favor huge pages, and a way to turn that off
again when it doesn't work out so well. Default of course is off.
"mount -o remount,huge=N /mountpoint" works fine after mount:
remounting from huge=1 (on) to huge=0 (off) will not attempt to
break up huge pages at all, just stop more from being allocated.
It's possible that we shall allow more values for the option later,
to select different strategies (e.g. how hard to try when allocating
huge pages, or when to map hugely and when not, or how sparse a huge
page should be before it is split up), either for experiments, or well
baked in: so use an unsigned char in the superblock rather than a bool.
No new config option: put this under CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE,
which is the appropriate option to protect those who don't want
the new bloat, and with which we shall share some pmd code. Use a
"name=numeric_value" format like most other tmpfs options. Prohibit
the option when !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, just as mpol is invalid
without CONFIG_NUMA (was hidden in mpol_parse_str(): make it explicit).
Allow setting >0 only if the machine has_transparent_hugepage().
But what about Shmem with no user-visible mount? SysV SHM, memfds,
shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers'
DRM objects, Ashmem. Though unlikely to suit all usages, provide
sysctl /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge to experiment with huge on those.
And allow shmem_huge two further values: -1 for use in emergencies,
to force the huge option off from all mounts; and (currently) 2,
to force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing.
