[RFC PATCH v3 0/2] arm64/hugetlb: enable gigantic page

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

 



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.
