Peter Anvin" , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, "Kirill A. Shutemov" , "Kirill A. Shutemov" From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Instead of allocating huge zero page on hugepage_init() we can postpone it until first huge zero page map. It saves memory if THP is not in use. cmpxchg() is used to avoid race on huge_zero_pfn initialization. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
