All usual features belonging to hugetlbfs are preserved and unaffected. libhugetlbfs will also work fine as usual. + +BPF-based THP adjustment +======================== + +Overview +-------- + +When the system is configured with "always" or "madvise" THP mode, a BPF program +can be used to adjust THP allocation policies dynamically. This enables +fine-grained control over THP decisions based on various factors including +workload identity, allocation context, and system memory pressure. + +Program Interface +----------------- + +This feature implements a struct_ops BPF program with the following interface:: + + int thp_get_order(struct vm_area_struct *vma, + enum bpf_thp_vma_type vma_type, + enum tva_type tva_type, + unsigned long orders); + +Parameters:: + + @vma: vm_area_struct associated with the THP allocation + @vma_type: The VMA type, such as BPF_THP_VM_HUGEPAGE if VM_HUGEPAGE is set + BPF_THP_VM_NOHUGEPAGE if VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, or BPF_THP_VM_NONE + if neither is set. + @tva_type: TVA type for current @vma + @orders: Bitmask of requested THP orders for this allocation + - PMD-mapped allocation if PMD_ORDER is set + - mTHP allocation otherwise + +Return value:: + + The suggested THP order from the BPF program for allocation. It will not + exceed the highest requested order in @orders. Return -1 to indicate that the + original requested @orders should remain unchanged. + +Implementation Notes +-------------------- + +This is currently an experimental feature. +CONFIG_BPF_GET_THP_ORDER must be enabled to use it. +Only one BPF program can be attached at a time, but the program can be updated +dynamically to adjust policies without requiring affected tasks to be restarted. -- 2.47.3
