Subject: [PATCH 3/6] prctl: introduce PR_THP_POLICY_SYSTEM for the process
Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 14:33:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250515133519.2779639-4-usamaarif642@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250515133519.2779639-1-usamaarif642@gmail.com>
This is set via the new PR_SET_THP_POLICY prctl.
This will clear both the MMF2_THP_VMA_DEFAULT_NOHUGE and
MMF2_THP_VMA_DEFAULT_HUGE process flags which will make
the VMA behaviour of the process the same as system.
