Subject: alpha: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:45:43 +0800
On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of
empty PTE page table pages (such as 100GB+). To resolve this problem,
first enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to prepare for enabling the
PT_RECLAIM feature, which resolves this problem.
