[PATCH 3/3] mm: shmem: override mTHP shmem default with a kernel parameter
Posted by Maíra Canal 4 weeks ago
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.

I'm not sure this is the right name. How about "thp_shmem"?

Can we share source code with thp_anon since there's a lot of duplication?

My comment isn't related to drivers or memory management. It's solely about
avoiding code duplication. For example, we could create a shared function to
handle both controls, reducing redundant code :-)

Let me rephrase it.

I completely agree that we should avoid code duplication. I'm asking
where is the best place to add the headers of the shared functions.
"linux/shmem_fs.h" doesn't look appropriate to me, so I believe the
remaining options would be "linux/huge_mm.h" or "internal.h".

I would like to know your opinion about those two options.

Both locations seem quite odd. I have a feeling that these boot command
elements are purely internal, yet internal.h contains something that is
actually 'external' to mm. The shared code isn't 'external' enough to belong
in internal.h.

I didn't realize that shmem has placed these controls in its own file;
I thought they
were also located in mm/huge_memory.c. Given the current situation, I would
prefer to keep the code as it is and tolerate the code duplication.

Unless we are going to place controls for shmem and other thp controls in
one place, I feel your code is better than having a shared function either in
internal.h or linux/huge_mm.h.
