Bringing back the discussion of prerequistes to this thread following the
discussion at the mm-alignment meeting on Wednesday.
Slides, updated following discussion to reflect all the agreed items that are
prerequisites and enhancements, are at [1].
I've taken a closer look at the situation with khugepaged, and can confirm that
it does correctly collapse anon small-sized THP into PMD-sized THP. I did notice
though, that one of the khugepaged selftests (collapse_max_ptes_none) fails when
small-sized THP is enabled+always. So I've fixed that test up and will add the
patch to the next version of my series.
So I believe the khugepaged prerequisite can be marked as done.
