Subject: [PATCH v20 7/9] mm: hugetlb: add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 16:40:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210415084005.25049-8-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210415084005.25049-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
Add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap to enable the feature of
freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page on boot.
We disables PMD mapping of vmemmap pages for x86-64 arch when this
feature is enabled. Because vmemmap_remap_free() depends on vmemmap
being base page mapped.
