From d21b9e57c74ce82ac459e2ec8ce667db9b9da8b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:25:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] thp: handle file pages in split_huge_pmd() Splitting THP PMD is simple: just unmap it as in DAX case. This way we can avoid memory overhead on page table allocation to deposit. It's probably a good idea to try to allocation page table with GFP_ATOMIC in __split_huge_pmd_locked() to avoid refaulting the area, but clearing pmd should be good enough for now. Unlike DAX, we also remove the page from rmap and drop reference. pmd_young() is transfered to PageReferenced().
