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.
If config HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE is enabled, the freeing vmemmap page code
denpend on it to free vmemmap pages. Otherwise, just use
free_reserved_page() to free vmemmmap pages. 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.
