From 033193275b3ffcfe7f3fde7b569f3d207f6cd6a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:32:56 -0700 Subject: pagewalk: only split huge pages when necessary Right now, if a mm_walk has either ->pte_entry or ->pmd_entry set, it will unconditionally split any transparent huge pages it runs in to. In practice, that means that anyone doing a cat /proc/$pid/smaps will unconditionally break down every huge page in the process and depend on khugepaged to re-collapse it later. This is fairly suboptimal. This patch changes that behavior. It teaches each ->pmd_entry handler (there are five) that they must break down the THPs themselves. Also, the _generic_ code will never break down a THP unless a ->pte_entry handler is actually set. This means that the ->pmd_entry handlers can now choose to deal with THPs without breaking them down.
