Contiguous Memory Allocator
|
|
===========================
|
|
CXL Memory onlined as SystemRAM during early boot is eligible for use by CMA,
|
|
as the NUMA node hosting that capacity will be `Online` at the time CMA
|
|
carves out contiguous capacity.
|
|
|
|
CXL Memory deferred to the CXL Driver for configuration cannot have its
|
|
capacity allocated by CMA - as the NUMA node hosting the capacity is `Offline`
|
|
at :code:`__init` time - when CMA carves out contiguous capacity.

HugeTLB

=======
|
|
Different huge page sizes allow different memory configurations.

|
|
2MB Huge Pages
|
|
--------------
|
|
All CXL capacity regardless of configuration time or memory zone is eligible
|
|
for use as 2MB huge pages.
|
|
|
|
1GB Huge Pages
|
|
--------------
|
|
CXL capacity onlined in :code:`ZONE_NORMAL` is eligible for 1GB Gigantic Page
|
|
allocation.
|
|
|
|
CXL capacity onlined in :code:`ZONE_MOVABLE` is not eligible for 1GB Gigantic
|
|
Page allocation.
