Subject: [PATCH V2 8/8] mshare: selftests: Add test case to demostrate that mshare partly supports THP
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 21:06:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250919130620.56518-8-linyongting@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250919130620.56518-1-linyongting@bytedance.com>
Currently, mshare doesn't support madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) to make pages
become THP page.
Thus we need to set /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled
to 'always', enabling mshare to acquire THP pages in a best effort way.
This case is quit simple that set up a mshare memory with 2MB size,
than use memset to fill the physical memory and verify whether THP
was allocated by reading memory.stat.
