Subject[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] arm64/hugetlb: enable gigantic page
Date
Arm64 supports different size of gigantic page which can be seen from:
commit 084bd29810a5 ("ARM64: mm: HugeTLB support.")
commit 66b3923a1a0f ("arm64: hugetlb: add support for PTE contiguous bit")

So I tried to use this function by adding hugepagesz=1G in kernel
parameters, with CONFIG_CMA=y. However, when I
echo xx > \
/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
it failed with the following info:
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This is a v2 patchset which make gigantic page can be used on arm64,
with CONFIG_CMA=y, or other related configs is enable.

You can see the former discussions at:
