From f4981502088f8ea704beeedf3470e1d53bc2e46c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liu Shixin Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 10:16:53 +0800 Subject: mm/huge_memory: prevent THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC increased twice A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge zero pages that are really allocated for thp. It is misleading to increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page concurrently. Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really used. Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.
