Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] 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
Some GPUs may benefit from using huge pages. Since DRM GEM uses shmem
to allocate anonymous pageable memory, it’s essential to control the huge
page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount. This control can be
achieved through the ``transparent_hugepage_shmem=`` parameter.
Beyond just setting the allocation policy, it’s crucial to have granular
control over the size of huge pages that can be allocated. The GPU may
support only specific huge page sizes, and allocating pages larger/smaller
than those sizes would be ineffective.

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``.
