[PATCH v6 07/16] x86/mm/64: Disable PMD page mapping of vmemmap

From: Muchun Song
Date: Tue Nov 24 2020 - 04:58:10 EST


If we enable the CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, we can just
disbale PMD page mapping of vmemmap to simplify the code. In this
case, we do not need complex code doing vmemmap page table
manipulation. This is a way to simply the first version of this
patch series. In the future, we can add some code doing page table
manipulation.
