[PATCH v3 2/3] mm: sparsemem: use huge PMD mapping for vmemmap pages
From: Muchun Song
Date: Wed Jun 16 2021 - 05:52:34 EST
The preparation of splitting huge PMD mapping of vmemmap pages is ready,
so switch the mapping from PTE to PMD.

Allows heavy hugetlb users to free up some more
memory (6 * PAGE_SIZE for each 2MB hugetlb page).
- This feauture is not free though. Large page
- tables are not used to back vmemmap pages which
- can lead to a performance degradation for some
- workloads. Also there will be memory allocation
- required when hugetlb pages are freed from the
- pool which can lead to corner cases under heavy
- memory pressure.
Format: { on | off (default) }
on: enable the feature
