Arm64 supports different size of gigantic page which can be seen from: commit 084bd29810a5 ("ARM64: mm: HugeTLB support.") commit 66b3923a1a0f ("arm64: hugetlb: add support for PTE contiguous bit") So I tried to use this function by adding hugepagesz=1G in kernel parameters, with CONFIG_CMA=y. However, when I echo xx > \ /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages it failed with the following info: -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument This is a v3 patchset which make gigantic page can be allocated and freed at runtime for arch arm64, with CONFIG_CMA=y or other related configs is enabled.
