[PATCH] mm/page_alloc: Make alloc_gigantic_page() available for general use

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

 



HugeTLB helper alloc_gigantic_page() implements fairly generic allocation
method where it scans over various zones looking for a large contiguous pfn
range before trying to allocate it with alloc_contig_range(). Other than
deriving the requested order from 'struct hstate', there is nothing HugeTLB
specific in there. This can be made available for general use to allocate
contiguous memory which could not have been allocated through the buddy
allocator.

alloc_gigantic_page() has been split carving out actual allocation method
which is then made available via new alloc_contig_pages() helper wrapped
under CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC. All references to 'gigantic' have been replaced
with more generic term 'contig'. Allocated pages here should be freed with
free_contig_range() or by calling __free_page() on each allocated page.

Changes from [V5,1/2] mm/hugetlb: Make alloc_gigantic_page()...

- alloc_contig_page() takes nr_pages instead of order per Michal
- s/gigantic/contig on all related functions
