[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The accept_memory kernel parameter was added in commit dcdfdd40fa82
("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory") but not listed in the
kernel-parameters doc. Add it there.

+			default: lazy
+			By default, unaccepted memory is accepted lazily to
+			avoid prolonged boot at the cost of some runtime
+			overhead until all memory is eventually accepted. In
+			most cases the overhead is negligible but for some
+			workloads or for debugging purposes accept_memory=eager
+			can be used to accept all memory at once during boot.
