[PATCH v4 6/8] hugetlb: batch PMD split for bulk vmemmap dedup

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Mon Sep 18 2023 - 19:03:27 EST


From: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@xxxxxxxxxx>

In an effort to minimize amount of TLB flushes, batch all PMD splits
belonging to a range of pages in order to perform only 1 (global) TLB
flush.

Add a flags field to the walker and pass whether it's a bulk allocation
or just a single page to decide to remap. First value
(VMEMMAP_SPLIT_NO_TLB_FLUSH) designates the request to not do the TLB
flush when we split the PMD.

Rebased and updated by Mike Kravetz
