Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm: changes to split_huge_page() to free zero filled tail pages

From: Alexander Zhu <alexlzhu@...com>

Currently, when /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled=always is set
there are a large number of transparent hugepages that are almost entirely
zero filled.  This is mentioned in a number of previous patchsets
including:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210731063938.1391602-1-yuzhao@google.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/
1635422215-99394-1-git-send-email-ningzhang@...ux.alibaba.com/

Currently, split_huge_page() does not have a way to identify zero filled
pages within the THP. Thus these zero pages get remapped and continue to
create memory waste. In this patch, we identify and free tail pages that
are zero filled in split_huge_page(). In this way, we avoid mapping these
pages back into page table entries and can free up unused memory within
THPs. This is based off the previously mentioned patchset by Yu Zhao.
However, we chose to free anonymous zero tail pages whenever they are
encountered instead of only on reclaim or migration.

We also add self tests to verify the RssAnon value to make sure zero
pages are not remapped except in the case of userfaultfd. In the case
of userfaultfd we remap to the shared zero page, similar to what is
done by KSM.
