[PATCH v8 5/6] mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FS

From: Song Liu
Date: Mon Jun 24 2019 - 18:30:21 EST


This patch is (hopefully) the first step to enable THP for non-shmem
filesystems.

This patch enables an application to put part of its text sections to THP
via madvise, for example:

madvise((void *)0x600000, 0x200000, MADV_HUGEPAGE);

We tried to reuse the logic for THP on tmpfs.

Currently, write is not supported for non-shmem THP. khugepaged will only
process vma with VM_DENYWRITE. sys_mmap() ignores VM_DENYWRITE requests
(see ksys_mmap_pgoff). The only way to create vma with VM_DENYWRITE is
execve(). This requirement limits non-shmem THP to text sections.

The next patch will handle writes, which would only happen when the all
the vmas with VM_DENYWRITE are unmapped.

An EXPERIMENTAL config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, is added to gate this
feature.
