[patch 08/49] hugetlb: pull gigantic page initialisation out ofthe default path

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Nov 11 2008 - 19:29:14 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 18229df5b613ed0732a766fc37850de2e7988e43 upstream

As we can determine exactly when a gigantic page is in use we can optimise
the common regular page cases by pulling out gigantic page initialisation
into its own function. As gigantic pages are never released to buddy we
do not need a destructor. This effectivly reverts the previous change to
the main buddy allocator. It also adds a paranoid check to ensure we
never release gigantic pages from hugetlbfs to the main buddy.
