Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm: shmem: override mTHP shmem default with a kernel parameter
Add the ``thp_shmem=`` kernel command line to allow specifying the
default policy of each supported shmem hugepage size. The kernel parameter
accepts the following format:
thp_shmem=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<policy>;<size>[KMG]-<size>[KMG]:<policy>
For example,
thp_shmem=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:advise;1M-2M:never;4M-8M:within_size
By configuring the default policy of several shmem huge pages, the user
can take advantage of mTHP before it's been configured through sysfs.

seven valid policies for shmem (``always``, ``within_size``, ``advise``,
``never``, ``deny``, and ``force``).
+In the same manner as ``thp_anon`` controls each supported anonymous THP
+size, ``thp_shmem`` controls each supported shmem THP size. ``thp_shmem``
+has the same format as ``thp_anon``, but also supports the policy
+``within_size``.
+
+``thp_shmem=`` may be specified multiple times to configure all THP sizes
+as required. If ``thp_shmem=`` is specified at least once, any shmem THP
+sizes not explicitly configured on the command line are implicitly set to
+``never``.
+
+``transparent_hugepage_shmem`` setting only affects the global toggle. If
+``thp_shmem`` is not specified, PMD_ORDER hugepage will default to
+``inherit``. However, if a valid ``thp_shmem`` setting is provided by the
+user, the PMD_ORDER hugepage policy will be overridden. If the policy for
+PMD_ORDER is not defined within a valid ``thp_shmem``, its policy will
+default to ``never``.
