[PATCH] doc: add information about max_ptes_swap

Show all headers | View raw

max_ptes_swap specifies how many pages can be brought in from
swap when collapsing a group of pages into a transparent huge page.

/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap

A higher value can cause excessive swap IO and waste
memory. A lower value can prevent THPs from being
collapsed, resulting fewer pages being collapsed into
THPs, and lower memory access performance.
