[RFC PATCH v2 24/30] mm: madvise: add page size options to MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

It allows user to specify up to what page size kernel will generate THPs
to back up the memory range in madvise. Because we now have PMD and PUD
THPs, they require different amount of kernel effort to be generated,
and we want to prevent user from getting long page fault latency if we
always try to allocate PUD THPs first.
