+always
+ Attempt to allocate a transparent huge page and read it from
+ swap space in one piece every time.
+
+never
+ Always split the swap space and PMD swap mapping and swapin
+ the fault normal page during swapin.
+
+madvise
+ Only swapin the transparent huge page in one piece for
+ MADV_HUGEPAGE madvise regions.
+
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".

Swapin a THP as a whole isn't desirable in some situations. For example, for completely random access pattern, swapin a THP in one piece will inflate the reading greatly. So a sysfs interface: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/swapin_enabled is added to configure it. Three options as follow are provided, - always: THP swapin will be enabled always - madvise: THP swapin will be enabled only for VMA with VM_HUGEPAGE flag set. - never: THP swapin will be disabled always The default configuration is: madvise. During page fault, if a PMD swap mapping is found and THP swapin is disabled, the huge swap cluster and the PMD swap mapping will be split and fallback to normal page swapin.
