mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: disable hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap when struct page crosses page boundaries
Patch series "add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl", v11. This series aims to add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages associated with HugeTLB pages. This patch (of 4): If the size of "struct page" is not the power of two but with the feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with each HugeTLB is enabled, then the vmemmap pages of HugeTLB will be corrupted after remapping (panic is about to happen in theory). But this only exists when !CONFIG_MEMCG && !CONFIG_SLUB on x86_64. However, it is not a conventional configuration nowadays. So it is not a real word issue, just the result of a code review. But we cannot prevent anyone from configuring that combined configure. This hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap should be disable in this case to fix this issue.
