For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the
feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap
takes precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone
wants to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over
hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to
succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision
of making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant.
The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether
the section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If
the section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block
itself, hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap,
otherwise, do the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are
compatible. So this patch introduces SECTION_CANNOT_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP
to indicate whether the section could be optimized.
