This series aims to reduce the page tables overhead of DRM drivers for
builds with CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled and either the sysfs
knob '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled' appropriately
set or drivers using a dedicated huge tmpfs mount point.
It starts by adding a huge page fault handler for GEM objects to
insert PMD or PUD mappings whenever the shmem backing store manages to
create huge folios. It then introduces a dedicated get_unmapped_area
file operation on the DRM file descriptor for GEM objects to get the
best virtual address alignment for the underlying shmem buffers.
The remaining commits propose shmem helpers to create and release huge
tmpfs mount points and adapt the i915 and V3D drivers. The helpers are
then used to optionally enable Transparent Hugepage for Panfrost and
Panthor.
For Panthor on a Rock 5B, this series makes the first memcpy() to an
entire BO object mapped in userspace about twice as fast with
Transparent Hugepage enabled.
