[PATCH v2 1/3] mm: sparsemem: split the huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages

From: Muchun Song
Date: Sat Jun 12 2021 - 05:47:22 EST


Currently, we disable huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages when that feature
of "Free some vmemmap pages of HugeTLB pages" is enabled. If the vmemmap
is huge PMD mapped when we walk the vmemmap page tables, we split the
huge PMD firstly and then we move to PTE mappings. When HugeTLB pages are
freed from the pool we do not attempt coalasce and move back to a PMD
mapping because it is much more complex.
