Provide new hugepages user APIs that are more suited to multiple hstates in sysfs. There is a new directory, /sys/kernel/hugepages. Underneath that directory there will be a directory per-supported hugepage size, e.g.: /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64kB /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB corresponding to 64k, 16m and 16g respectively. Within each hugepages-size directory there are a number of files, corresponding to the tracked counters in the hstate, e.g.: /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_overcommit_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/free_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/resv_hugepages /sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/surplus_hugepages Of these files, the first two are read-write and the latter three are read-only. The size of the hugepage being manipulated is trivially deducible from the enclosing directory and is always expressed in kB (to match meminfo).

Description:
|
|
/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/ contains a number of subdirectories
|
|
of the form hugepages-<size>kB, where <size> is the page size
|
|
of the hugepages supported by the kernel/CPU combination.
|
|
|
|
Under these directories are a number of files:
|
|
nr_hugepages
|
|
nr_overcommit_hugepages
|
|
free_hugepages
|
|
surplus_hugepages
|
|
resv_hugepages
|
