Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: Don't overwrite user min_free_kbytes, consider THP when adjusting
The value of min_free_kbytes is calculated in two routines:
1) init_per_zone_wmark_min based on available memory
2) set_recommended_min_free_kbytes may reserve extra space for
THP allocations
In both of these routines, a user defined min_free_kbytes value will
be overwritten if the value calculated in the code is larger. No message
is logged if the user value is overwritten.
Change code to never overwrite user defined value. However, do log a
message (once per value) showing the value calculated in code.
At system initialization time, both init_per_zone_wmark_min and
set_recommended_min_free_kbytes are called to set the initial value
for min_free_kbytes. When memory is offlined or onlined, min_free_kbytes
is recalculated and adjusted based on the amount of memory. However,
the adjustment for THP is not considered. Here is an example from a 2
node system with 8GB of memory.
# cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
90112
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory56/online
# cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
11243
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory56/online
# cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
11412
One would expect that min_free_kbytes would return to it's original
value after the offline/online operations.
Create a simple interface for THP/khugepaged based adjustment and
call this whenever min_free_kbytes is adjusted.

v2 - Don't ever overwrite user defined value. Always log message if we
calculate a value different than user value. As in existing code,
do not attempt to validate user defined values.
