From 60ab3244ec85c44276c585a2a20d3750402e1cf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:47:18 -0800 Subject: thp: khugepaged: make khugepaged aware about madvise MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE were fully effective only if run after mmap and before touching the memory. While this is enough for most usages, it's little effort to make madvise more dynamic at runtime on an existing mapping by making khugepaged aware about madvise. MADV_HUGEPAGE: register in khugepaged immediately without waiting a page fault (that may not ever happen if all pages are already mapped and the "enabled" knob was set to madvise during the initial page faults). MADV_NOHUGEPAGE: skip vmas marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE in khugepaged to stop collapsing pages where not needed.
