Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch applies the same limit for read-only ptes. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all but 190MB of the program by touching other memory. Afterwards, the test program does a mix of reads and writes to its memory, and the memory gets swapped back in. Without the patch, only the memory that did not get swapped out remained in THPs, which corresponds to 24% of the memory of the program. The percentage did not increase over time. With this patch, after 5 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed 50% of the program's memory back into THPs. Test results: With the patch: After swapped out: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 100464 kB AnonHugePages: 100352 kB Swap: 699540 kB Fraction: 99,88 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 1754448 kB AnonHugePages: 1716224 kB Fraction: 97,82 After swapped in: In a few seconds: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 800004 kB AnonHugePages: 145408 kB Swap: 0 kB Fraction: 18,17 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 2455016 kB AnonHugePages: 1761280 kB Fraction: 71,74 In 5 minutes: cat /proc/pid/smaps Anonymous: 800004 kB AnonHugePages: 407552 kB Swap: 0 kB Fraction: 50,94 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 2456872 kB AnonHugePages: 2023424 kB Fraction: 82,35 Without the patch: After swapped out: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 190660 kB AnonHugePages: 190464 kB Swap: 609344 kB Fraction: 99,89 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 1740456 kB AnonHugePages: 1667072 kB Fraction: 95,78 After swapped in: cat /proc/pid/smaps: Anonymous: 800004 kB AnonHugePages: 190464 kB Swap: 0 kB Fraction: 23,80 cat /proc/meminfo: AnonPages: 2350032 kB AnonHugePages: 1667072 kB Fraction: 70,93 I waited 10 minutes the fractions did not change without the patch.
