[PATCH 3/7] loongarch: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE

From: Qi Zheng

Date: Fri Nov 14 2025 - 06:13:51 EST


From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of
empty PTE page table pages (such as 100GB+). To resolve this problem,
first enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to prepare for enabling the
PT_RECLAIM feature, which resolves this problem.
