[PATCH v2 4/4] hugetlbfs: clean up command line processing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
- Check for hugepages_supported() before processing parameters.
- Add comments to code
  - Describe some of the subtle interactions
  - Describe semantics of command line arguments

+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 parameter.  However, if hugepages is the
+	first or only hugetlb command line parameter it specifies the number
+	of huge pages of default size to allocate.  The number of huge pages
+	of default size specified in this manner can 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 512 2M huge pages being allocated.  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.  No other hugetlb command
+	line parameter is associated with default_hugepagesz.  Therefore, it
+	can appear anywhere on the command line.  If hugepages= is the first
+	hugetlb command line parameter, the specified number of huge pages
+	will apply to the default huge page size specified with
+	default_hugepagesz.  For example,
+		hugepages=512 default_hugepagesz=2M
+	will result in 512 2M huge pages being allocated.  However, specifying
+	the number of default huge pages in this manner will not apply to
+	gigantic huge pages.  For example,
+		hugepages=10 default_hugepagesz=1G
+				or
+		default_hugepagesz=1G hugepages=10
+	will NOT result in the allocation of 10 1G huge pages.  In order to
+	preallocate gigantic huge pages, there must be hugepagesz, hugepages
+	parameter pair.  For example,
+		hugepagesz=1G hugepages=10 default_hugepagesz=1G
+				or
+		default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=10
+	will result 10 1G huge pages being allocated and the default huge
+	page size will be set to 1G.  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.
 Thus, one can use the following command to dynamically allocate/deallocate
