Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] mm: remap unused subpages to shared zeropage when splitting isolated thp
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2024 11:03:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240830100438.3623486-3-usamaarif642@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240830100438.3623486-1-usamaarif642@gmail.com>

From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com>

Here being unused means containing only zeros and inaccessible to
userspace. When splitting an isolated thp under reclaim or migration,
the unused subpages can be mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving
memory. This is particularly helpful when the internal
fragmentation of a thp is high, i.e. it has many untouched subpages.

This is also a prerequisite for THP low utilization shrinker which will
be introduced in later patches, where underutilized THPs are split, and
the zero-filled pages are freed saving memory.
