Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/hugetlb_cma: support percentage-based hugetlb_cma reservation
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 19:01:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260628190155.3655895-1-souravpanda@google.com> (raw)
Currently, hugetlb_cma reservation only supports absolute sizes (e.g.,
hugetlb_cma=2G or hugetlb_cma=0:1G,1:1G). This can be restrictive in
heterogeneous environments or when deploying common kernel command lines
across machines with different memory capacities.
Add support for percentage-based hugetlb_cma reservation (e.g.,
hugetlb_cma=20% or hugetlb_cma=0:20%,1:10%).
The percentage is calculated against the total memory (for global
settings) or against the node-specific memory (for node-specific
settings) using memblock APIs during early boot.

v2:
- Use mul_u64_u32_div() instead of mult_frac() to avoid 64-bit division on 32-bit architectures (Reported by kernel test robot).
- Fix physical memory size truncation on 32-bit PAE by using phys_addr_t in memblock_node_memory_size() (Sashiko).
- Fix boot parameter override logic to respect standard last-one-wins precedence by clearing opposite values during parsing and clearing node-specific values when global values are parsed.
