Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mm: generalize vmemmap remap architecture support
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 20:21:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903122128.12264-2-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903122128.12264-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
ARCH_WANT_OPTIMIZE_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP is named after its first user, but
the underlying requirement is not HugeTLB-specific. Generic MM only needs
to know whether an architecture can safely remap populated vmemmap PTEs at
run time.
Rename the architecture opt-in to ARCH_SUPPORTS_VMEMMAP_REMAP and make
HugeTLB vmemmap optimization depend on that generic capability. This also
prepares for FS-DAX vmemmap optimization, which relies on the same runtime
remap support.
