+============================
+Transparent Hugepage Support
+============================
+
+Objective
+=========
+
+Performance critical computing applications dealing with large memory
+working sets are already running on top of libhugetlbfs and in turn
+hugetlbfs. Transparent HugePage Support (THP) is an alternative mean of
+using huge pages for the backing of virtual memory with huge pages
+that supports the automatic promotion and demotion of page sizes and
+without the shortcomings of hugetlbfs.
+
+Currently THP only works for anonymous memory mappings and tmpfs/shmem.
+But in the future it can expand to other filesystems.
+
+.. note::
+   in the examples below we presume that the basic page size is 4K and
+   the huge page size is 2M, although the actual numbers may vary
+   depending on the CPU architecture.
+
+The reason applications are running faster is because of two
+factors. The first factor is almost completely irrelevant and it's not
+of significant interest because it'll also have the downside of
+requiring larger clear-page copy-page in page faults which is a
+potentially negative effect. The first factor consists in taking a
+single page fault for each 2M virtual region touched by userland (so
+reducing the enter/exit kernel frequency by a 512 times factor). This
+only matters the first time the memory is accessed for the lifetime of
+a memory mapping. The second long lasting and much more important
+factor will affect all subsequent accesses to the memory for the whole
+runtime of the application. The second factor consist of two
+components:
+
+1) the TLB miss will run faster (especially with virtualization using
+   nested pagetables but almost always also on bare metal without
+   virtualization)
+
+2) a single TLB entry will be mapping a much larger amount of virtual
+   memory in turn reducing the number of TLB misses. With
+   virtualization and nested pagetables the TLB can be mapped of
+   larger size only if both KVM and the Linux guest are using
+   hugepages but a significant speedup already happens if only one of
+   the two is using hugepages just because of the fact the TLB miss is
+   going to run faster.
+
+THP can be enabled system wide or restricted to certain tasks or even
+memory ranges inside task's address space. Unless THP is completely
+disabled, there is ``khugepaged`` daemon that scans memory and
+collapses sequences of basic pages into huge pages.
+
+The THP behaviour is controlled via :ref:`sysfs <thp_sysfs>`
+interface and using madivse(2) and prctl(2) system calls.
+
+Transparent Hugepage Support maximizes the usefulness of free memory
+if compared to the reservation approach of hugetlbfs by allowing all
+unused memory to be used as cache or other movable (or even unmovable
+entities). It doesn't require reservation to prevent hugepage
+allocation failures to be noticeable from userland. It allows paging
+and all other advanced VM features to be available on the
+hugepages. It requires no modifications for applications to take
+advantage of it.
+
+Applications however can be further optimized to take advantage of
+this feature, like for example they've been optimized before to avoid
+a flood of mmap system calls for every malloc(4k). Optimizing userland
+is by far not mandatory and khugepaged already can take care of long
+lived page allocations even for hugepage unaware applications that
+deals with large amounts of memory.
+
+In certain cases when hugepages are enabled system wide, application
+may end up allocating more memory resources. An application may mmap a
+large region but only touch 1 byte of it, in that case a 2M page might
+be allocated instead of a 4k page for no good. This is why it's
+possible to disable hugepages system-wide and to only have them inside
+MADV_HUGEPAGE madvise regions.
+
+Embedded systems should enable hugepages only inside madvise regions
+to eliminate any risk of wasting any precious byte of memory and to
+only run faster.
+
+Applications that gets a lot of benefit from hugepages and that don't
+risk to lose memory by using hugepages, should use
+madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on their critical mmapped regions.
+
+.. _thp_sysfs:
+
+sysfs
+=====
+
+Global THP controls
+-------------------
+
+Transparent Hugepage Support for anonymous memory can be entirely disabled
+(mostly for debugging purposes) or only enabled inside MADV_HUGEPAGE
+regions (to avoid the risk of consuming more memory resources) or enabled
+system wide. This can be achieved with one of::
+
+	echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
+	echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
+	echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
+
+It's also possible to limit defrag efforts in the VM to generate
+anonymous hugepages in case they're not immediately free to madvise
+regions or to never try to defrag memory and simply fallback to regular
+pages unless hugepages are immediately available. Clearly if we spend CPU
+time to defrag memory, we would expect to gain even more by the fact we
+use hugepages later instead of regular pages. This isn't always
+guaranteed, but it may be more likely in case the allocation is for a
+MADV_HUGEPAGE region.
+
+::
+
+	echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+	echo defer >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+	echo defer+madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+	echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+	echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
+
+always
+	means that an application requesting THP will stall on
+	allocation failure and directly reclaim pages and compact
+	memory in an effort to allocate a THP immediately. This may be
+	desirable for virtual machines that benefit heavily from THP
+	use and are willing to delay the VM start to utilise them.
+
+defer
+	means that an application will wake kswapd in the background
+	to reclaim pages and wake kcompactd to compact memory so that
+	THP is available in the near future. It's the responsibility
+	of khugepaged to then install the THP pages later.
+
+defer+madvise
+	will enter direct reclaim and compaction like ``always``, but
+	only for regions that have used madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE); all
+	other regions will wake kswapd in the background to reclaim
+	pages and wake kcompactd to compact memory so that THP is
+	available in the near future.
+
+madvise
+	will enter direct reclaim like ``always`` but only for regions
+	that are have used madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE). This is the default
+	behaviour.
+
+never
+	should be self-explanatory.
+
+By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault to
+anonymous mapping. It's possible to disable huge zero page by writing 0
+or enable it back by writing 1::
+
+	echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
+	echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
+
+Some userspace (such as a test program, or an optimized memory allocation
+library) may want to know the size (in bytes) of a transparent hugepage::
+
+	cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size
+
+khugepaged will be automatically started when
+transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll
+be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never".
+
+Khugepaged controls
+-------------------
+
+khugepaged runs usually at low frequency so while one may not want to
+invoke defrag algorithms synchronously during the page faults, it
+should be worth invoking defrag at least in khugepaged. However it's
+also possible to disable defrag in khugepaged by writing 0 or enable
+defrag in khugepaged by writing 1::
+
+	echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
+	echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
+
+You can also control how many pages khugepaged should scan at each
+pass::
+
+	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_to_scan
+
+and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged between each pass (you
+can set this to 0 to run khugepaged at 100% utilization of one core)::
+
+	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs
+
+and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged if there's an hugepage
+allocation failure to throttle the next allocation attempt::
+
+	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/alloc_sleep_millisecs
+
+The khugepaged progress can be seen in the number of pages collapsed::
+
+	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed
+
+for each pass::
+
+	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/full_scans
+
+``max_ptes_none`` specifies how many extra small pages (that are
+not already mapped) can be allocated when collapsing a group
+of small pages into one large page::
+
+	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
+
+A higher value leads to use additional memory for programs.
+A lower value leads to gain less thp performance. Value of
+max_ptes_none can waste cpu time very little, you can
+ignore it.
+
+``max_ptes_swap`` specifies how many pages can be brought in from
+swap when collapsing a group of pages into a transparent huge page::
+
+	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap
+
+A higher value can cause excessive swap IO and waste
+memory. A lower value can prevent THPs from being
+collapsed, resulting fewer pages being collapsed into
+THPs, and lower memory access performance.
+
+Boot parameter
+==============
+
+You can change the sysfs boot time defaults of Transparent Hugepage
+Support by passing the parameter ``transparent_hugepage=always`` or
+``transparent_hugepage=madvise`` or ``transparent_hugepage=never``
+to the kernel command line.
+
+Hugepages in tmpfs/shmem
+========================
+
+You can control hugepage allocation policy in tmpfs with mount option
+``huge=``. It can have following values:
+
+always
+    Attempt to allocate huge pages every time we need a new page;
+
+never
+    Do not allocate huge pages;
+
+within_size
+    Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
+    Also respect fadvise()/madvise() hints;
+
+advise
+    Only allocate huge pages if requested with fadvise()/madvise();
+
+The default policy is ``never``.
+
+``mount -o remount,huge= /mountpoint`` works fine after mount: remounting
+``huge=never`` will not attempt to break up huge pages at all, just stop more
+from being allocated.
+
+There's also sysfs knob to control hugepage allocation policy for internal
+shmem mount: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled. The mount
+is used for SysV SHM, memfds, shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or
+MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers' DRM objects, Ashmem.
+
+In addition to policies listed above, shmem_enabled allows two further
+values:
+
+deny
+    For use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from
+    all mounts;
+force
+    Force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing;
+
+Need of application restart
+===========================
+
+The transparent_hugepage/enabled values and tmpfs mount option only affect
+future behavior. So to make them effective you need to restart any
+application that could have been using hugepages. This also applies to the
+regions registered in khugepaged.
+
+Monitoring usage
+================
+
+The number of anonymous transparent huge pages currently used by the
+system is available by reading the AnonHugePages field in ``/proc/meminfo``.
+To identify what applications are using anonymous transparent huge pages,
+it is necessary to read ``/proc/PID/smaps`` and count the AnonHugePages fields
+for each mapping.
+
+The number of file transparent huge pages mapped to userspace is available
+by reading ShmemPmdMapped and ShmemHugePages fields in ``/proc/meminfo``.
+To identify what applications are mapping file transparent huge pages, it
+is necessary to read ``/proc/PID/smaps`` and count the FileHugeMapped fields
+for each mapping.
+
+Note that reading the smaps file is expensive and reading it
+frequently will incur overhead.
+
+There are a number of counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` that may be used to
+monitor how successfully the system is providing huge pages for use.
+
+thp_fault_alloc
+	is incremented every time a huge page is successfully
+	allocated to handle a page fault. This applies to both the
+	first time a page is faulted and for COW faults.
+
+thp_collapse_alloc
+	is incremented by khugepaged when it has found
+	a range of pages to collapse into one huge page and has
+	successfully allocated a new huge page to store the data.
+
+thp_fault_fallback
+	is incremented if a page fault fails to allocate
+	a huge page and instead falls back to using small pages.
+
+thp_collapse_alloc_failed
+	is incremented if khugepaged found a range
+	of pages that should be collapsed into one huge page but failed
+	the allocation.
+
+thp_file_alloc
+	is incremented every time a file huge page is successfully
+	allocated.
+
+thp_file_mapped
+	is incremented every time a file huge page is mapped into
+	user address space.
+
+thp_split_page
+	is incremented every time a huge page is split into base
+	pages. This can happen for a variety of reasons but a common
+	reason is that a huge page is old and is being reclaimed.
+	This action implies splitting all PMD the page mapped with.
+
+thp_split_page_failed
+	is incremented if kernel fails to split huge
+	page. This can happen if the page was pinned by somebody.
+
+thp_deferred_split_page
+	is incremented when a huge page is put onto split
+	queue. This happens when a huge page is partially unmapped and
+	splitting it would free up some memory. Pages on split queue are
+	going to be split under memory pressure.
+
+thp_split_pmd
+	is incremented every time a PMD split into table of PTEs.
+	This can happen, for instance, when application calls mprotect() or
+	munmap() on part of huge page. It doesn't split huge page, only
+	page table entry.
+
+thp_zero_page_alloc
+	is incremented every time a huge zero page is
+	successfully allocated. It includes allocations which where
+	dropped due race with other allocation. Note, it doesn't count
+	every map of the huge zero page, only its allocation.
+
+thp_zero_page_alloc_failed
+	is incremented if kernel fails to allocate
+	huge zero page and falls back to using small pages.
+
+thp_swpout
+	is incremented every time a huge page is swapout in one
+	piece without splitting.
+
+thp_swpout_fallback
+	is incremented if a huge page has to be split before swapout.
+	Usually because failed to allocate some continuous swap space
+	for the huge page.
+
+As the system ages, allocating huge pages may be expensive as the
+system uses memory compaction to copy data around memory to free a
+huge page for use. There are some counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` to help
+monitor this overhead.
+
+compact_stall
+	is incremented every time a process stalls to run
+	memory compaction so that a huge page is free for use.
+
+compact_success
+	is incremented if the system compacted memory and
+	freed a huge page for use.
+
+compact_fail
+	is incremented if the system tries to compact memory
+	but failed.
+
+compact_pages_moved
+	is incremented each time a page is moved. If
+	this value is increasing rapidly, it implies that the system
+	is copying a lot of data to satisfy the huge page allocation.
+	It is possible that the cost of copying exceeds any savings
+	from reduced TLB misses.
+
+compact_pagemigrate_failed
+	is incremented when the underlying mechanism
+	for moving a page failed.
+
+compact_blocks_moved
+	is incremented each time memory compaction examines
+	a huge page aligned range of pages.
+
+It is possible to establish how long the stalls were using the function
+tracer to record how long was spent in __alloc_pages_nodemask and
+using the mm_page_alloc tracepoint to identify which allocations were
+for huge pages.
+
+Optimizing the applications
+===========================
+
+To be guaranteed that the kernel will map a 2M page immediately in any
+memory region, the mmap region has to be hugepage naturally
+aligned. posix_memalign() can provide that guarantee.
+
+Hugetlbfs
+=========
+
+You can use hugetlbfs on a kernel that has transparent hugepage
+support enabled just fine as always. No difference can be noted in
+hugetlbfs other than there will be less overall fragmentation. All
+usual features belonging to hugetlbfs are preserved and
+unaffected. libhugetlbfs will also work fine as usual.

--------------------
-
-Transparent Hugepage Support for anonymous memory can be entirely disabled
-(mostly for debugging purposes) or only enabled inside MADV_HUGEPAGE
-regions (to avoid the risk of consuming more memory resources) or enabled

-	echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
-
-It's also possible to limit defrag efforts in the VM to generate

-	echo defer+madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-	echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-	echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
-
-always
-	means that an application requesting THP will stall on

-By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault to

-or enable it back by writing 1::

-	echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
-	echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/use_zero_page
-
-Some userspace (such as a test program, or an optimized memory allocation

-	cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size

-khugepaged will be automatically started when
-transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll
-be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never".
-
-Khugepaged controls

-khugepaged runs usually at low frequency so while one may not want to

-
-	echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag

-
-You can also control how many pages khugepaged should scan at each
-pass::
-
-	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_to_scan
-
-and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged between each pass (you
-can set this to 0 to run khugepaged at 100% utilization of one core)::
-
-	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs
-
-and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged if there's an hugepage
-allocation failure to throttle the next allocation attempt::
-
-	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/alloc_sleep_millisecs
-
-The khugepaged progress can be seen in the number of pages collapsed::
-
-	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed
-
-for each pass::
-
-	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/full_scans
-
-``max_ptes_none`` specifies how many extra small pages (that are
-not already mapped) can be allocated when collapsing a group
-of small pages into one large page::
-
-	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
-
-A higher value leads to use additional memory for programs.
-A lower value leads to gain less thp performance. Value of
-max_ptes_none can waste cpu time very little, you can
-ignore it.
-
-``max_ptes_swap`` specifies how many pages can be brought in from
-swap when collapsing a group of pages into a transparent huge page::
-
-	/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap
-
-A higher value can cause excessive swap IO and waste
-memory. A lower value can prevent THPs from being
-collapsed, resulting fewer pages being collapsed into
-THPs, and lower memory access performance.
-
-Boot parameter
-==============
-
-You can change the sysfs boot time defaults of Transparent Hugepage
-Support by passing the parameter ``transparent_hugepage=always`` or
-``transparent_hugepage=madvise`` or ``transparent_hugepage=never``
-to the kernel command line.
-
-Hugepages in tmpfs/shmem
-========================
-
-You can control hugepage allocation policy in tmpfs with mount option
-``huge=``. It can have following values:
-
-always
-    Attempt to allocate huge pages every time we need a new page;
-
-never
-    Do not allocate huge pages;
-
-within_size
-    Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
-    Also respect fadvise()/madvise() hints;
-
-advise
-    Only allocate huge pages if requested with fadvise()/madvise();
-
-The default policy is ``never``.
-
-``mount -o remount,huge= /mountpoint`` works fine after mount: remounting
-``huge=never`` will not attempt to break up huge pages at all, just stop more
-from being allocated.
-
-There's also sysfs knob to control hugepage allocation policy for internal
-shmem mount: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled. The mount
-is used for SysV SHM, memfds, shared anonymous mmaps (of /dev/zero or
-MAP_ANONYMOUS), GPU drivers' DRM objects, Ashmem.
-
-In addition to policies listed above, shmem_enabled allows two further
-values:
-
-deny
-    For use in emergencies, to force the huge option off from
-    all mounts;
-force
-    Force the huge option on for all - very useful for testing;
-
-Need of application restart
-===========================
-
-The transparent_hugepage/enabled values and tmpfs mount option only affect
-future behavior. So to make them effective you need to restart any
-application that could have been using hugepages. This also applies to the
-regions registered in khugepaged.
-
-Monitoring usage
-================
-
-The number of anonymous transparent huge pages currently used by the
-system is available by reading the AnonHugePages field in ``/proc/meminfo``.
-To identify what applications are using anonymous transparent huge pages,
-it is necessary to read ``/proc/PID/smaps`` and count the AnonHugePages fields
-for each mapping.
-
-The number of file transparent huge pages mapped to userspace is available
-by reading ShmemPmdMapped and ShmemHugePages fields in ``/proc/meminfo``.
-To identify what applications are mapping file transparent huge pages, it
-is necessary to read ``/proc/PID/smaps`` and count the FileHugeMapped fields
-for each mapping.
-
-Note that reading the smaps file is expensive and reading it
-frequently will incur overhead.
-
-There are a number of counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` that may be used to
-monitor how successfully the system is providing huge pages for use.
-
-thp_fault_alloc
-	is incremented every time a huge page is successfully
-	allocated to handle a page fault. This applies to both the
-	first time a page is faulted and for COW faults.
-
-thp_collapse_alloc
-	is incremented by khugepaged when it has found
-	a range of pages to collapse into one huge page and has
-	successfully allocated a new huge page to store the data.
-
-thp_fault_fallback
-	is incremented if a page fault fails to allocate
-	a huge page and instead falls back to using small pages.
-
-thp_collapse_alloc_failed
-	is incremented if khugepaged found a range
-	of pages that should be collapsed into one huge page but failed
-	the allocation.
-
-thp_file_alloc
-	is incremented every time a file huge page is successfully
-	allocated.
-
-thp_file_mapped
-	is incremented every time a file huge page is mapped into
-	user address space.
-
-thp_split_page
-	is incremented every time a huge page is split into base
-	pages. This can happen for a variety of reasons but a common
-	reason is that a huge page is old and is being reclaimed.
-	This action implies splitting all PMD the page mapped with.
-
-thp_split_page_failed
-	is incremented if kernel fails to split huge
-	page. This can happen if the page was pinned by somebody.
-
-thp_deferred_split_page
-	is incremented when a huge page is put onto split
-	queue. This happens when a huge page is partially unmapped and
-	splitting it would free up some memory. Pages on split queue are
-	going to be split under memory pressure.
-
-thp_split_pmd
-	is incremented every time a PMD split into table of PTEs.
-	This can happen, for instance, when application calls mprotect() or
-	munmap() on part of huge page. It doesn't split huge page, only
-	page table entry.
-
-thp_zero_page_alloc
-	is incremented every time a huge zero page is
-	successfully allocated. It includes allocations which where
-	dropped due race with other allocation. Note, it doesn't count
-	every map of the huge zero page, only its allocation.
-
-thp_zero_page_alloc_failed
-	is incremented if kernel fails to allocate
-	huge zero page and falls back to using small pages.
-
-thp_swpout
-	is incremented every time a huge page is swapout in one
-	piece without splitting.
-
-thp_swpout_fallback
-	is incremented if a huge page has to be split before swapout.
-	Usually because failed to allocate some continuous swap space
-	for the huge page.
-
-As the system ages, allocating huge pages may be expensive as the
-system uses memory compaction to copy data around memory to free a
-huge page for use. There are some counters in ``/proc/vmstat`` to help
-monitor this overhead.
-
-compact_stall
-	is incremented every time a process stalls to run
-	memory compaction so that a huge page is free for use.
-
-compact_success
-	is incremented if the system compacted memory and
-	freed a huge page for use.
-
-compact_fail
-	is incremented if the system tries to compact memory
-	but failed.
-
-compact_pages_moved
-	is incremented each time a page is moved. If
-	this value is increasing rapidly, it implies that the system
-	is copying a lot of data to satisfy the huge page allocation.
-	It is possible that the cost of copying exceeds any savings
-	from reduced TLB misses.
-
-compact_pagemigrate_failed
-	is incremented when the underlying mechanism
-	for moving a page failed.
-
-compact_blocks_moved
-	is incremented each time memory compaction examines
-	a huge page aligned range of pages.
-
-It is possible to establish how long the stalls were using the function
-tracer to record how long was spent in __alloc_pages_nodemask and
-using the mm_page_alloc tracepoint to identify which allocations were
-for huge pages.
-
-Optimizing the applications
-===========================
-
-To be guaranteed that the kernel will map a 2M page immediately in any
-memory region, the mmap region has to be hugepage naturally
-aligned. posix_memalign() can provide that guarantee.
-
-Hugetlbfs
-=========
-
-You can use hugetlbfs on a kernel that has transparent hugepage
-support enabled just fine as always. No difference can be noted in
-hugetlbfs other than there will be less overall fragmentation. All
-usual features belonging to hugetlbfs are preserved and
-unaffected. libhugetlbfs will also work fine as usual.
