hugetlb: add demote hugetlb page sysfs interfaces
Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are: demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write) demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only) By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size. Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages. NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote interfaces. This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides the sysfs interfaces. It also provides documentation for the new interfaces. Signed-off-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>
