[v4 4/4] mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail struct pages if freed by HVO

From: Usama Arif
Date: Wed Sep 06 2023 - 07:28:11 EST


The new boot flow when it comes to initialization of gigantic pages
is as follows:
- At boot time, for a gigantic page during __alloc_bootmem_hugepage,
the region after the first struct page is marked as noinit.
- This results in only the first struct page to be
initialized in reserve_bootmem_region. As the tail struct pages are
not initialized at this point, there can be a significant saving
in boot time if HVO succeeds later on.
- Later on in the boot, the head page is prepped and the first
HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page) - 1 tail struct pages
are initialized.
- HVO is attempted. If it is not successful, then the rest of the
tail struct pages are initialized. If it is successful, no more
tail struct pages need to be initialized saving significant boot time.
