Subject: mm: override mTHP "enabled" defaults at kernel cmdline
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2024 14:02:47 +1200

Add thp_anon= cmdline parameter to allow specifying the default enablement
of each supported anon THP size.  The parameter accepts the following
format and can be provided multiple times to configure each size:

thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<value>;<size>-<size>[KMG]:<value>

An example:

thp_anon=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:madvise;1M-2M:never

See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst for more details.

Configuring the defaults at boot time is useful to allow early user space
to take advantage of mTHP before its been configured through sysfs.

-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.
+You can change the sysfs boot time default for the top-level "enabled"
+control by passing the parameter ``transparent_hugepage=always`` or
+``transparent_hugepage=madvise`` or ``transparent_hugepage=never`` to the
+kernel command line.
+
+Alternatively, each supported anonymous THP size can be controlled by
+passing ``thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<state>;<size>-<size>[KMG]:<state>``,
+where ``<size>`` is the THP size (must be a power of 2 of PAGE_SIZE and
+supported anonymous THP)  and ``<state>`` is one of ``always``, ``madvise``,
+``never`` or ``inherit``.
+
+For example, the following will set 16K, 32K, 64K THP to ``always``,
+set 128K, 512K to ``inherit``, set 256K to ``madvise`` and 1M, 2M
+to ``never``::
+
+	thp_anon=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:madvise;1M-2M:never
+
+``thp_anon=`` may be specified multiple times to configure all THP sizes as
+required. If ``thp_anon=`` is specified at least once, any anon THP sizes
+not explicitly configured on the command line are implicitly set to
+``never``.
+
+``transparent_hugepage`` setting only affects the global toggle. If
+``thp_anon`` is not specified, PMD_ORDER THP will default to ``inherit``.
+However, if a valid ``thp_anon`` setting is provided by the user, the
+PMD_ORDER THP policy will be overridden. If the policy for PMD_ORDER
+is not defined within a valid ``thp_anon``, its policy will default to
+``never``.
