[PATCH v3 6/7] hugetlb: parallelize 2M hugetlb allocation and initialization

From: Gang Li
Date: Tue Jan 02 2024 - 08:14:46 EST


By distributing both the allocation and the initialization tasks across
multiple threads, the initialization of 2M hugetlb will be faster,
thereby improving the boot speed.

Here are some test results:
