Baolin Wang e7a2ab7b3b mm: shmem: add mTHP support for anonymous shmem 
Commit 19eaf44954 adds multi-size THP (mTHP) for anonymous pages, that
can allow THP to be configured through the sysfs interface located at
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/enabled'.

However, the anonymous shmem will ignore the anonymous mTHP rule
configured through the sysfs interface, and can only use the PMD-mapped
THP, that is not reasonable.  Users expect to apply the mTHP rule for all
anonymous pages, including the anonymous shmem, in order to enjoy the
benefits of mTHP.  For example, lower latency than PMD-mapped THP, smaller
memory bloat than PMD-mapped THP, contiguous PTEs on ARM architecture to
reduce TLB miss etc.  In addition, the mTHP interfaces can be extended to
support all shmem/tmpfs scenarios in the future, especially for the shmem
mmap() case.

The primary strategy is similar to supporting anonymous mTHP.  Introduce a
new interface '/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/shmem_enabled',
which can have almost the same values as the top-level
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', with adding a new
additional "inherit" option and dropping the testing options 'force' and
'deny'.  By default all sizes will be set to "never" except PMD size,
which is set to "inherit".  This ensures backward compatibility with the
anonymous shmem enabled of the top level, meanwhile also allows
independent control of anonymous shmem enabled for each mTHP.

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 reStructuredText 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.
