Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated
with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there is no specific or
abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced. Let us give it a name HVO
(HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.

This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the way
discussed in thread [1].
