Michal Hocko a1400af755 mm, proc: report PR_SET_THP_DISABLE in proc
David Rientjes has reported that commit 1860033237 ("mm: make
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we
report THPable VMAs to the userspace.  Their monitoring tool is
triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers
an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp.  memory
pressure issue.

Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE
flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc/<pid>/smaps file.
This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message
but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for
the process wide THP enabled/disabled status.

PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to
export in the process wide context rather than per-vma.  Introduce a new
field to /proc/<pid>/status which export this status.  If
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is
not compiled in.  It doesn't consider the global THP status because we
already export that information via sysfs

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
