Subject: [PATCH 2/3] drm/xe: select TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 21:42:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722044220.1110278-2-matthew.brost@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722044220.1110278-1-matthew.brost@intel.com>
Xe is currently the only TTM driver that drives the TTM shrinker, and
hence the only user of TTM's incremental swap path. That path splits the
pool's higher-order compound folios one page at a time via
folio_split_driver_managed() so individual pages can be backed up to
shmem and freed under memory pressure.
folio_split_driver_managed() is part of the transparent hugepage split
machinery in mm/huge_memory.c, which is only built when
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled. Select it from DRM_XE so the
split primitive is always available for the driver that needs it, rather
than forcing it on every TTM user.
