Subject: [PATCH v11 mm-new 06/10] mm: bpf-thp: add support for global mode
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 11:16:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020031655.1093-2-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251020031655.1093-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>
The per-process BPF-THP mode is unsuitable for managing shared resources
such as shmem THP and file-backed THP. This aligns with known cgroup
limitations for similar scenarios [0].
Introduce a global BPF-THP mode to address this gap. When registered:
- All existing per-process instances are disabled
- New per-process registrations are blocked
- Existing per-process instances remain registered (no forced unregistration)
The global mode takes precedence over per-process instances. Updates are
type-isolated: global instances can only be updated by new global
instances, and per-process instances by new per-process instances.
