Subject: hugetlbfs: clean up command line processing
With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code.
- Make code match desired semantics
- Update documentation with semantics
- Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'.
- Consistently name command line parsing routines.
- Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have
been specified.
- Add comments to code
- Describe some of the subtle interactions
- Describe semantics of command line arguments
This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of
gigantic huge pages to preallocate. Previously on X86 command line,
hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G
would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and,
# grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo
HugePages_Total: 0
# sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages
vm.nr_hugepages = 2
vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2
# cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
2
After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc,
sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this.
To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was
made to command line processing. Previously the command line,
hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256
would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages. The value 128 would
be ignored without any warning. After this patch, 128 2M pages will be
allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of
256 is ignored. This change in behavior is required because allocation of
implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the
default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages. Previously the
code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate
pages of default size. However the bootmem allocator required for
gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

+Hugetlb boot command line parameter semantics
+hugepagesz - Specify a huge page size. Used in conjunction with hugepages
+ parameter to preallocate a number of huge pages of the specified
+ size. Hence, hugepagesz and hugepages are typically specified in
+ pairs such as:
+ hugepagesz=2M hugepages=512
+ hugepagesz can only be specified once on the command line for a
+ specific huge page size. Valid huge page sizes are architecture
+ dependent.
+hugepages - Specify the number of huge pages to preallocate. This typically
+ follows a valid hugepagesz or default_hugepagesz parameter. However,
+ if hugepages is the first or only hugetlb command line parameter it
+ implicitly specifies the number of huge pages of default size to
+ allocate. If the number of huge pages of default size is implicitly
+ specified, it can not be overwritten by a hugepagesz,hugepages
+ parameter pair for the default size.
+ For example, on an architecture with 2M default huge page size:
+ hugepages=256 hugepagesz=2M hugepages=512
+ will result in 256 2M huge pages being allocated and a warning message
+ indicating that the hugepages=512 parameter is ignored. If a hugepages
+ parameter is preceded by an invalid hugepagesz parameter, it will
+ be ignored.
+default_hugepagesz - Specify the default huge page size. This parameter can
+ only be specified once on the command line. default_hugepagesz can
+ optionally be followed by the hugepages parameter to preallocate a
+ specific number of huge pages of default size. The number of default
+ sized huge pages to preallocate can also be implicitly specified as
+ mentioned in the hugepages section above. Therefore, on an
+ architecture with 2M default huge page size:
+ hugepages=256
+ default_hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256
+ hugepages=256 default_hugepagesz=2M
+ will all result in 256 2M huge pages being allocated. Valid default
+ huge page size is architecture dependent.
+
When multiple huge page sizes are supported, ``/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages``
indicates the current number of pre-allocated huge pages of the default size.
