changelog
=========
v3->v4:
add changelog in the cover leter to make the change history more clear.
v2->v3:
change the Kconfig file to avoid comile warning when select
ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
v1->v2:
introduce the ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE as Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> suggested
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 v4 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.
