[v4,07/13] mm/khugepaged: add flag to ignore page young/referenced requirement

Commit Message

Zach O'Keefe May 2, 2022, 6:17 p.m. UTC

Add enforce_young flag to struct collapse_control that allows context to
ignore requirement that some pages in region being collapsed be young or
referenced.  Set this flag in khugepaged collapse context to preserve
existing khugepaged behavior.

This flag will be used (unset) when introducing madvise collapse
context since here, the user presumably has reason to believe the
collapse will be beneficial and khugepaged heuristics shouldn't tell
the user they are wrong.
