Subject: [PATCH 05/18] hugetlb_vmemmap: Allow architectures not to allow HVO at runtime
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 03:11:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708031129.3503195-6-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708031129.3503195-1-jthoughton@google.com>
Even if HVO is enabled, architectures may at run-time determine that it
cannot be used.
It may be the case that arch_supports_hugetlb_vmemmap_optimization()
returns false at first but eventually returns true. This is the case on
arm64. When this happens, bootmem hugepages won't be immediately HVOed,
but they will be optimized in prep_and_add_bootmem_folios(), part of
hugetlb_init().
