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 Restructured Text 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.

THP allocation might be really disruptive when allocated on NUMA system with the local node full or hard to reclaim. Stefan has posted an allocation stall report on 4.12 based SLES kernel which suggests the same issue: kvm: page allocation stalls for 194572ms, order:9, mode:0x4740ca(__GFP_HIGHMEM|__GFP_IO|__GFP_FS|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_HARDWALL|__GFP_THISNODE|__GFP_MOVABLE|__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM), nodemask=(null) kvm cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0-1 CPU: 10 PID: 84752 Comm: kvm Tainted: G W 4.12.0+98-ph <a href="/view.php?id=1" title="[geschlossen] Integration Ramdisk" class="resolved">0000001</a> SLE15 (unreleased) Hardware name: Supermicro SYS-1029P-WTRT/X11DDW-NT, BIOS 2.0 12/05/2017 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x5c/0x84 warn_alloc+0xe0/0x180 __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x820/0xc90 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1cc/0x210 alloc_pages_vma+0x1e5/0x280 do_huge_pmd_wp_page+0x83f/0xf00 __handle_mm_fault+0x93d/0x1060 handl...
