[PATCH 2/5] mm: hugetlb: introduce helpers to preallocate page tables from bootmem allocator

From: Muchun Song
Date: Wed Jun 09 2021 - 08:17:25 EST


If we want to split the huge PMD of vmemmap pages associated with each
gigantic page allocated from bootmem allocator, we should pre-allocate
the page tables from bootmem allocator. In this patch, we introduce
some helpers to preallocate page tables for gigantic pages.
