Subject: hugetlb: batch freeing of vmemmap pages
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2023 19:31:07 -0700
Now that batching of hugetlb vmemmap optimization processing is possible,
batch the freeing of vmemmap pages. When freeing vmemmap pages for a
hugetlb page, we add them to a list that is freed after the entire batch
has been processed.
This enhances the ability to return contiguous ranges of memory to the low
level allocators.
