Subject: [PATCH v8 4/4] mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl
Date:   Wed, 13 Apr 2022 22:47:48 +0800

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and
reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap
pages associated with HugeTLB pages.  However, rebooting usually takes a
long time.  So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime
without rebooting.

Once enabled, the vmemmap pages of subsequent allocation of HugeTLB pages
from buddy allocator will be optimized (7 pages per 2MB HugeTLB page and
4095 pages per 1GB HugeTLB page), whereas already allocated HugeTLB pages
will not be optimized.  When those optimized HugeTLB pages are freed from
the HugeTLB pool to the buddy allocator, the vmemmap pages representing
that range needs to be remapped again and the vmemmap pages discarded
earlier need to be rellocated again.  If your use case is that HugeTLB
pages are allocated 'on the fly' instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB
pool, you should weigh the benefits of memory savings against the more
overhead of allocation or freeing HugeTLB pages between the HugeTLB pool
and the buddy allocator.  Another behavior to note is that if the system
is under heavy memory pressure, it could prevent the user from freeing
HugeTLB pages from the HugeTLB pool to the buddy allocator since the
allocation of vmemmap pages could be failed, you have to retry later if
your system encounter this situation.

Once disabled, the vmemmap pages of subsequent allocation of HugeTLB
pages from buddy allocator will not be optimized, whereas already
optimized HugeTLB pages will not be affected.  If you want to make sure
there is no optimized HugeTLB pages, you can set "nr_hugepages" to 0
first and then disable this.

+Enable (set to 1) or disable (set to 0) the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
+associated with each HugeTLB page.

+Once enabled, the vmemmap pages of subsequent allocation of HugeTLB pages from
+buddy allocator will be optimized (7 pages per 2MB HugeTLB page and 4095 pages
+per 1GB HugeTLB page), whereas already allocated HugeTLB pages will not be
+optimized.  When those optimized HugeTLB pages are freed from the HugeTLB pool
+to the buddy allocator, the vmemmap pages representing that range needs to be
+remapped again and the vmemmap pages discarded earlier need to be rellocated
+again.  If your use case is that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly'
+instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, you should weigh the benefits of
+memory savings against the more overhead of allocation or freeing HugeTLB pages
+between the HugeTLB pool and the buddy allocator.  Another behavior to note is
