hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported

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

 



In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:

AnonHugePages:         0 kB
HugePages_Total:       0
HugePages_Free:        0
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
Hugepagesize:         64 kB

HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init(). Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.

This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment. I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages and
that won't change at runtime.
