Subject: mm: hugetlb: introduce a new config HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP
The option HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP allows for the freeing of some
vmemmap pages associated with pre-allocated HugeTLB pages. For example,
on X86_64 6 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each 2MB
HugeTLB page. 4094 vmemmap pages of size 4KB each can be saved for each
1GB HugeTLB page.
When a HugeTLB page is allocated or freed, the vmemmap array representing
the range associated with the page will need to be remapped. When a page
is allocated, vmemmap pages are freed after remapping. When a page is
freed, previously discarded vmemmap pages must be allocated before
remapping.
The config option is introduced early so that supporting code can be
written to depend on the option. The initial version of the code only
provides support for x86-64.
Like other code which frees vmemmap, this config option depends on
HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE. The routine register_page_bootmem_info() is used
to register bootmem info. Therefore, make sure register_page_bootmem_info
is enabled if HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP is defined.
