[PATCHv8 25/32] shmem, thp: respect MADV_{NO,}HUGEPAGE for file mappings

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <hidden>
Date: 2016-05-12 15:41:57
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - thp (transparent huge page), the rest, tmpfs (shmem filesystem) · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds, Hugh Dickins

Let's wire up existing madvise() hugepage hints for file mappings.

MADV_HUGEPAGE advise shmem to allocate huge page on page fault in the
VMA. It only has effect if the filesystem is mounted with huge=advise or
huge=within_size.

MADV_NOHUGEPAGE prevents hugepage from being allocated on page fault in
the VMA. It doesn't prevent a huge page from being allocated by other
means, i.e. page fault into different mapping or write(2) into file.
