Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mm/huge_memory: extend thp_underused() to mTHP folios
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 13:17:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707201735.4113107-2-joannelkoong@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707201735.4113107-1-joannelkoong@gmail.com>
thp_underused() decides whether a large folio on the deferred split
list is underused and should be split so that its zero subpages can be
reclaimed. However, the logic in it only accounts for PMD-sized folios.
As preparatory work for splitting underused mTHP folios, make the logic
in thp_underused() compatible with mTHP-sized folios. This uses the
existing khugepaged_max_ptes_none sysctl value and scales it
proportionally to the size of the folio as the threshold for how many
zero-filled pages a folio may contain before it's considered underused.
This introduces no functional changes for PMD-size folios.
