[RFC PATCH v3 0/2] arm64/hugetlb: enable gigantic page

[Xie Yisheng]

Arm64 supports different size of gigantic page which can be seen from:
commit 084bd29810a5 ("ARM64: mm: HugeTLB support.")
commit 66b3923a1a0f ("arm64: hugetlb: add support for PTE contiguous bit")

So I tried to use this function by adding hugepagesz=1G in kernel
parameters, with CONFIG_CMA=y. However, when I
echo xx > \
  /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
it failed with the following info:
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This is a v3 patchset which make gigantic page can be
allocated and freed at runtime for arch arm64,
with CONFIG_CMA=y or other related configs is enabled.

[RFC PATCH v3 2/2] arm64 Kconfig: Select gigantic page

[Xie Yisheng]

Arm64 supports gigantic page after
commit 084bd29810a5 ("ARM64: mm: HugeTLB support.")
however, it can only be allocated at boottime and can't be freed.

This patch selects ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to make gigantic pages
can be allocated and freed at runtime for arch arm64.

I assume you plan to merge this via -mm/akpm, given that Catalin has
acked the arm64 part?

Hi Andrew,
Can this patchset be merged? Or have any other comments?

Thanks

Yes, however, it seems still not merged right now.
