[PATCHv5 26/28] thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page()

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Thu Apr 23 2015 - 17:08:56 EST


Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap. It's not an ideal
situation. It can lead to memory overhead.

Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap(). But we
cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context.

It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in
many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page
just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want.

The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page
into queue for splitting. The splitting itself will happen when we get
memory pressure via shrinker interface. The page will be dropped from
list on freeing through compound page destructor.
