I tend to agree that it would be better not to add additional huge page sizes here. It may not seem too intrusive to (potentially) add one extra set of entries for GB huge pages on x86. However, other architectures such as powerpc or sparc have several several huge pages sizes that could potentially be added here as well. Although, in practice one does tend to use a single huge pages size. If you change the default huge page size, then those entries will be in /proc/meminfo. -- Mike Kravetz -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
