------------------------------------------------------ From: Barry Song song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com Subject: mm/hugetlb: avoid hardcoding while checking if cma is enabled

hugetlb_cma[0] can be NULL due to various reasons, for example, node0 has no memory. so NULL hugetlb_cma[0] doesn't necessarily mean cma is not enabled. gigantic pages might have been reserved on other nodes.

Mike Kravetz said:

: Based on the code changes, I believe the following could happen: : - Someone uses 'hugetlb_cma=' kernel command line parameter to reserve : CMA for gigantic pages. : - The system topology is such that no memory is on node 0. Therefore, : no CMA can be reserved for gigantic pages on node 0. CMA is reserved : on other nodes. : - The user also specifies a number of gigantic pages to pre-allocate on : the command line with hugepagesz=<gigantic_page_size> hugepages=<N> : - The routine which allocates gigantic pages from the bootmem allocator : will not detect CMA has been reserved as there is no memory on node 0. : Therefore, pages will be pre-allocated from bootmem allocator as well : as reserved in CMA. : : This double allocation (bootmem and CMA) is the worst case scenario. Not : sure if this is what Barry saw, and I suspect this would rarely happen.
