Subject: [PATCH 15/18] hugetlb_vmemmap: Add a way to permanently disable HVO when needed
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 03:11:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708031129.3503195-16-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708031129.3503195-1-jthoughton@google.com>
hugetlb_vmemmap_optimization_try_disable() is used by callers to
permanently disable HVO if it becomes impossible to use.
If HVO is already actively in use,
hugetlb_vmemmap_optimization_try_disable() returns false to inform the
caller to take appropriate action (e.g., for arm64, not to online an
incompatible late CPU).
