mm/dynamic_hugetlb: establish the dynamic hugetlb feature framework
hulk inclusion category: feature bugzilla: 46904, https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4QSHG CVE: NA -------------------------------- Dynamic hugetlb is a self-developed feature based on the hugetlb and memcontrol. It supports to split huge page dynamically in a memory cgroup. There is a new structure dhugetlb_pool in every mem_cgroup to manage the pages configured to the mem_cgroup. For the mem_cgroup configured with dhugetlb_pool, processes in the mem_cgroup will preferentially use the pages in dhugetlb_pool. Dynamic hugetlb supports three types of pages, including 1G/2M huge pages and 4K pages. For the mem_cgroup configured with dhugetlb_pool, processes will be limited to alloc 1G/2M huge pages only from dhugetlb_pool. But there is no such constraint for 4K pages. If there are insufficient 4K pages in the dhugetlb_pool, pages can also be allocated from buddy system. So before using dynamic hugetlb, user must know how many huge pages they need. Usage: 1. Add 'dynamic_hugetlb=on' in cmdline to enable dynamic hugetlb feature. 2. Prealloc some 1G hugepages through hugetlb. 3. Create a mem_cgroup and configure dhugetlb_pool to mem_cgroup. 4. Configure the count of 1G/2M hugepages, and the remaining pages in dhugetlb_pool will be used as basic pages. 5. Bound a process to mem_cgroup. then the memory for it will be allocated from dhugetlb_pool. This patch add the corresponding structure dhugetlb_pool for dynamic hugetlb feature, the interface 'dhugetlb.nr_pages' in mem_cgroup to configure dhugetlb_pool and the cmdline 'dynamic_hugetlb=on' to enable dynamic hugetlb feature.
