Hi All,
I am having the following query regarding Huge pages and hugetlbfs.
1-> How Hugetlbfs is dependent on hardware ?
2-> Huge pages which is architecture dependent and ARM arm
architecture supports Tiny, small and large pages will it support
hugetlbfs if not then why ?
can some one guide me thanks in advance
Thanks
John

Hugetlbfs needs two things:
1) the hardware supports large pages, simultaneously running
with normal sized pages
2) someone wrote the hugetlbfs architecture dependent code
for that hardware

That I don't know. Does ARM support running with normal and
large pages simultaneously?
