The patch titled Subject: hugetlbfs: fix changes to command line processing has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is hugetlbfs-move-hugepagesz=-parsing-to-arch-independent-code-fix.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/hugetlbfs-move-hugepagesz%3D-parsing-to-arch-independent-code-fix.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/hugetlbfs-move-hugepagesz%3D-parsing-to-arch-independent-code-fix.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: hugetlbfs: fix changes to command line processing Previously, a check for hugepages_supported was added before processing hugetlb command line parameters. On some architectures such as powerpc, hugepages_supported() is not set to true until after command line processing. Therefore, no hugetlb command line parameters would be accepted. Remove the additional checks for hugepages_supported. In hugetlb_init, print a warning if !hugepages_supported and command line parameters were specified.
