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.
