max_ptes_swap specifies how many pages can be brought in from swap when
collapsing a group of pages into a transparent huge page.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap
A higher value can cause excessive swap IO and waste memory. A lower
value can prevent THPs from being collapsed, resulting fewer pages being
collapsed into THPs, and lower memory access performance.

max_ptes_none specifies how many extra small pages (that are
not already mapped) can be allocated when collapsing a group
of small pages into one large page.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
A higher value leads to use additional memory for programs.
A lower value leads to gain less thp performance. Value of
max_ptes_none can waste cpu time very little, you can
ignore it.

Transparent huge zero page is used during the page fault instead of in
khugepaged.
# ls /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/
defrag enabled khugepaged use_zero_page
# ls /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/
alloc_sleep_millisecs defrag full_scans max_ptes_none pages_collapsed pages_to_scan scan_sleep_millisecs
This patch corrects the documentation just like the codes done.

By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault. It's
possible to disable huge zero page by writing 0 or enable it back by
writing 1:
echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page
echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page

hzp_alloc is incremented every time a huge zero page is successfully
allocated. It includes allocations which where dropped due
race with other allocation. Note, it doesn't count every map
of the huge zero page, only its allocation.
hzp_alloc_failed is incremented if kernel fails to allocate huge zero
page and falls back to using small pages.

Pass vma instead of mm and add address parameter.
In most cases we already have vma on the stack. We provides
split_huge_page_pmd_mm() for few cases when we have mm, but not vma.
This change is preparation to huge zero pmd splitting implementation.

Commit e27e6151b154 ("mm/thp: use conventional format for boolean
attributes") changed
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
to be tuned by using 1 (enabled) or 0 (disabled) instead of "yes" and
"no", respectively.
Update the documentation.
