Shutemov" H. Peter Anvin doesn't like huge zero page which sticks in memory forever after the first allocation. Here's implementation of lockless refcounting for huge zero page. We have two basic primitives: {get,put}_huge_zero_page(). They manipulate reference counter. If counter is 0, get_huge_zero_page() allocates a new huge page and takes two references: one for caller and one for shrinker. We free the page only in shrinker callback if counter is 1 (only shrinker has the reference). put_huge_zero_page() only decrements counter. Counter is never zero in put_huge_zero_page() since shrinker holds on reference. Freeing huge zero page in shrinker callback helps to avoid frequent allocate-free. Refcounting has cost. On 4 socket machine I observe ~1% slowdown on parallel (40 processes) read page faulting comparing to lazy huge page allocation. I think it's pretty reasonable for synthetic benchmark.
