[PATCH v4 4/6] mm/hotplug: Allow pageblock alignment via altmap reservation

Aneesh Kumar K.V aneesh.kumar at linux.ibm.com
Tue Jul 18 12:44:07 AEST 2023


Add a new kconfig option that can be selected if we want to allow
pageblock alignment by reserving pages in the vmemmap altmap area.
This implies we will be reserving some pages for every memoryblock
This also allows the memmap on memory feature to be widely useful
with different memory block size values.
