[PATCHv2, RFC 20/30] ramfs: enable transparent huge page cache

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Thu Mar 14 2013 - 13:53:00 EST


From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

ramfs is the most simple fs from page cache point of view. Let's start
transparent huge page cache enabling here.

For now we allocate only non-movable huge page. It's not yet clear if
movable page is safe here and what need to be done to make it safe.
