Message-ID: <20240506005720.78394C113CC@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: add docs for per-order mTHP counters and transhuge_page ABI
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-add-docs-for-per-order-mthp-counters-and-transhuge_page-abi.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: add docs for per-order mTHP counters and transhuge_page ABI
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2024 23:48:57 +1200
This patch includes documentation for mTHP counters and an ABI file for
sys-kernel-mm-transparent-hugepage, which appears to have been missing for
some time.

As the system ages, allocating huge pages may be expensive as the
system uses memory compaction to copy data around memory to free a
huge page for use. There are some counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` to help
