Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are
both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are:
demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write)
demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only)
By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge
page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When
huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size.
Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that
number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages.
NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there
is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge
pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote
interfaces.
This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides
the sysfs interfaces.
It also provides documentation for the new interfaces.

This is just a nit-pick, but what is t_hstate? demote_hstate might be

Sure. I thought about just dropping this check. However, getting here
with !h->demote_order implies there was an issue in the setup of sysfs
files. That is not directly in the 'call path', so a check is helpful.
I will add a warning.

Yes, it can change. That is why the calculations are done each time
through the loop with the lock held.
Should we be worried about compiler optimizations that may not read the
