Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/1] This patch set introces a new action: DAMOS_COLLAPSE.
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:56:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323145646.4165053-1-gutierrez.asier@huawei-partners.com> (raw)
From: Asier Gutierrez <gutierrez.asier@huawei-partners.com>
For DAMOS_HUGEPAGE and DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE to work, khugepaged should be
working, since it relies on hugepage_madvise to add a new slot. This
slot should be picked up by khugepaged and eventually collapse (or
not, if we are using DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE) the pages. If THP is not
enabled, khugepaged will not be working, and therefore no collapse
will happen.
DAMOS_COLLAPSE eventually calls madvise_collapse, which will collapse
the address range synchronously.
This new action may be required to support autotuning with hugepage as
a goal[1].
