Michal Hocko d6cb41cc44 mm, hugetlb: remove hugepages_treat_as_movable sysctl ... hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303 ("Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time. It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was acceptable to use the zone back then. Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory. Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow movable zones. Mel said: : Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with : the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of : which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory : useless pinned in the huge pages pool. : : I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of : huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option : should be ok.
