[PATCH] mm/thp: add CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER option (Dmytro Maluka) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231204163254.2636289-1-dmaluka@chromium.org
Khugepaged has its own memory cost, and it increases vm.min_free_kbytes as it needs when it starts. On 4GB RAM, 3 mmzones and pageblock_order == MAX_ORDER, khugepaged increases vm.min_free_kbytes from 8MB to 132MB. This patch introduces a config to disallow khugepaged starts by default. It still allows the userspace to start khugepaged, though.
[PATCH v4 0/2] KSM: support smart-scan feature (Stefan Roesch) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231205180952.3843711-1-shr@devkernel.io

John asks tets suite for NUMA and THP that can be useful for testing patches for the topics.
[PATCH v4 0/1] mm: report per-page metadata information (Sourav Panda) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231031223846.827173-1-souravpanda@google.com
This patch adds per-node and global page metadata information to sysfs and procfs, to let users know how much memory is being used by the metadata.

Virtual Scanning Considered Harmful (Matthew Wilcox) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ZTc7SHQ4RbPkD3eZ@casper.infradead.org
Matthew shares his benchmark program that simulates speeds of LRU pages traversal using an linked list, an array, and direct physical addresses. As can expect, the physical address based traversal is fastest.

Kernel can panic when less than 4MB NUMA node is configured. The commit which introduced the 4MB limit doesn’t clearly explain the reason. This patch drops the limit.
[Invitation] Linux MM Alignment Session on Small-sized THPs on Wednesday (David Rientjes) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/76c2f454-5ab2-61db-a41f-a30f08a4aa1e@google.com
