[PATCH v2 3/3] mm: hugetlb: add hugetlb_free_vmemmap sysctl

From: Muchun Song
Date: Wed Mar 02 2022 - 03:38:42 EST


We must add "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to boot cmdline and reboot the
server to enable the feature of freeing vmemmap pages of HugeTLB
pages. Rebooting usually taske a long time. Add a sysctl to enable
the feature at runtime and do not need to reboot.

+hugetlb_free_vmemmap
+====================
+
+A toggle value indicating if vmemmap pages are allowed to be optimized.
+If it is off (0), then it can be set true (1). Once true, the vmemmap
+pages associated with each HugeTLB page will be optimized, and the toggle
+cannot be set back to false. It only optimizes the subsequent allocation
+of HugeTLB pages from buddy system, while already allocated HugeTLB pages
+will not be optimized.
