[PATCH v2 6/7] um: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
From: Qi Zheng
Date: Wed Nov 19 2025 - 02:33:29 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.
