[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: Concentrated releases memory when cmdline specifies node requests for large pages

From: suhua
Date: Fri Oct 11 2024 - 04:06:08 EST


When HVO is enabled and huge page memory allocs are made, the freed memory
can be aggregated into higher order memory in the following paths, which
facilitates further allocs for higher order memory.

echo 200000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 200000 > /sys/devices/system/node/node*/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
grub: default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=200000

Currently not support for releasing aggregations to higher order in the
following way, which will releasing to lower order.

grub: default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=0:100000,1:100000

This patch supports the release of huge page optimizations aggregates to
higher order memory.

eg:
cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-xxx ... default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=0:100000,1:100000
