Tested-by: bodeddub@xxxxxxxxxx We are interested in this patch and have tested an earlier version of this patch on 5.11-rc4 kernel version. I did a functional validation of the changes and saw that the total memory listed by free command increasing and more memory was
made available when memory was allocated in hugepages. 1G hugepages gave higher improvements compared to 2M, as expected. Is there a formal way to publish the results? I can do the same as required (I am new to Linux Kernel patching process). I have a few follow-up questions on this patch: 1. What is the overall status of this patch? What is the ballpark timeline we are looking for this patch to be accepted. 2. Why is this patch not working when memory is allocated as hugepages by THP (transparent hugepages). THP uses AnonHugePages, doesn’t this patch generalize for all ‘type’ of hugepages? Please let me know if there are any additional tasks that I can help. Happy to help. Thanks. |
