Subject: [PATCH 01/11] mm/sparse-vmemmap: introduce CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_OPTIMIZATION
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:53:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831075342.57563-2-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831075342.57563-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
The section-based vmemmap optimization infrastructure is still guarded by
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP, but it also can be used by device
DAX. Introduce CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_OPTIMIZATION as a common config
for the shared infrastructure.
Select the new option from HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP and from
DEV_DAX when the architecture opts in to DAX vmemmap optimization, and
use it to guard the generic sparse-vmemmap state and helpers.
