From 967101867279d10dbbde87406c3b030e3758bd67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:17:59 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] thp: lazy huge zero page allocation Instead of allocating huge zero page on hugepage_init() we can postpone it until first huge zero page map. It saves memory if THP is not in use. cmpxchg() is used to avoid race on huge_zero_pfn initialization. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Cc: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: "H.
