Subject: [PATCH v4 13/19] mm/hugetlb: Refactor early boot gigantic hugepage allocation
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 11:58:57 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612035903.2468601-14-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612035903.2468601-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
The early boot gigantic hugepage allocation helpers currently mix
allocation with huge_bootmem_page setup, and leave part of the
initialization flow in architecture code.
Refactor the interface to return the allocated huge page pointer and
move the huge_bootmem_page setup into the generic hugetlb code. This
makes the architecture-specific paths focus only on finding memory,
while the common code handles node placement and early page metadata
setup in one place.
This also lets powerpc benefit from memblock_reserved_mark_noinit(),
which it did not enable before.
In addition, upcoming cross-zone validation for boot-time gigantic
hugetlb reservation is common logic. With this refactoring, that logic
can stay in the generic code instead of being duplicated in
architecture-specific paths.
