Subject[PATCH v2 03/19] mm/hugetlb: Introduce a new config HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP
Date
The purpose of introducing HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP is to configure
whether to enable the feature of freeing unused vmemmap associated
with HugeTLB pages. Now only support x86.

+ There are many struct page structures associated with each HugeTLB
+ page. But we only use a few struct page structures. In this case,
+ it wastes some memory. It is better to free the unused struct page
+ structures to buddy system which can save some memory. For
+ architectures that support it, say Y here.

+ If unsure, say N.
