Subject[PATCH v4 03/21] 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.

+ When using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, the system can save up some memory
+ from pre-allocated HugeTLB pages when they are not used. 6 pages
+ per 2MB HugeTLB page and 4094 per 1GB HugeTLB page.
+
+ When the pages are going to be used or freed up, the vmemmap array
+ representing that range needs to be remapped again and the pages
+ we discarded earlier need to be rellocated again.
