[PATCH v2 4/5] mm/vmalloc: Enable mapping of huge pages at pte level in vmalloc

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed May 12 2021 - 01:01:18 EST


On some architectures like powerpc, there are huge pages that
are mapped at pte level.

Enable it in vmalloc.

For that, architectures can provide arch_vmap_pte_supported_shift()
that returns the shift for pages to map at pte level.
