Subject: [PATCH v2 07/20] hugetlb_vmemmap: Disable HVO sysctl if arch doesn't support HVO
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 00:21:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261003002123.505555-8-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261003002123.505555-1-jthoughton@google.com>
Do not create the vm.hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl when the
architecture lacks support. This serves only to avoid confusion for
users.
arm64 support for HVO is conditional on certain hardware features being
enabled for all online CPUs. By the time hugetlb_vmemmap_init() runs,
all secondary CPUs will have started, and the system feature set will
have stabilized, including HVO-through-BBM, which
arch_hugetlb_vmemmap_optimization_supported() checks for.
