A thought somewhat related to this discussion: I noticed that huge pages specified on the kernel command line are allocated via 'subsys_initcall'. This is before 'fs_initcall', even though these huge pages are only used by hugetlbfs. Was just thinking that it might be better to move huge page allocations to later in the init process. At least make them part of fs_initcall if not late_initcall? Only reason for doing this is because huge page allocations are fairly tolerant of allocation failure. Of course, I could be missing some init dependency. -- Mike Kravetz -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
