9  * The struct page structures (page structs) are used to describe a physical
10  * page frame. By default, there is a one-to-one mapping from a page frame to
11  * it's corresponding page struct.
12  *
13  * HugeTLB pages consist of multiple base page size pages and is supported by
14  * many architectures. See hugetlbpage.rst in the Documentation directory for
15  * more details. On the x86-64 architecture, HugeTLB pages of size 2MB and 1GB
16  * are currently supported. Since the base page size on x86 is 4KB, a 2MB
17  * HugeTLB page consists of 512 base pages and a 1GB HugeTLB page consists of
18  * 4096 base pages. For each base page, there is a corresponding page struct.
19  *
20  * Within the HugeTLB subsystem, only the first 4 page structs are used to
21  * contain unique information about a HugeTLB page. __NR_USED_SUBPAGE provides
22  * this upper limit. The only 'useful' information in the remaining page structs
23  * is the compound_head field, and this field is the same for all tail pages.
24  *
25  * By removing redundant page structs for HugeTLB pages, memory can be returned
26  * to the buddy allocator for other uses.
27  *
28  * Different architectures support different HugeTLB pages. For example, the
29  * following table is the HugeTLB page size supported by x86 and arm64
30  * architectures. Because arm64 supports 4k, 16k, and 64k base pages and
31  * supports contiguous entries, so it supports many kinds of sizes of HugeTLB
32  * page.

45  *
46  * When the system boot up, every HugeTLB page has more than one struct page
47  * structs which size is (unit: pages):
48  *
49  *    struct_size = HugeTLB_Size / PAGE_SIZE * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
50  *
51  * Where HugeTLB_Size is the size of the HugeTLB page. We know that the size
52  * of the HugeTLB page is always n times PAGE_SIZE. So we can get the following
53  * relationship.
54  *
55  *    HugeTLB_Size = n * PAGE_SIZE
56  *
57  * Then,
58  *
59  *    struct_size = n * PAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
60  *                = n * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
61  *
62  * We can use huge mapping at the pud/pmd level for the HugeTLB page.
63  *
64  * For the HugeTLB page of the pmd level mapping, then
65  *
66  *    struct_size = n * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
67  *                = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pte_t) * sizeof(struct page) / PAGE_SIZE
68  *                = sizeof(struct page) / sizeof(pte_t)
69  *                = 64 / 8
70  *                = 8 (pages)
71  *
72  * Where n is how many pte entries which one page can contains. So the value of
73  * n is (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pte_t)).
74  *
75  * This optimization only supports 64-bit system, so the value of sizeof(pte_t)
76  * is 8. And this optimization also applicable only when the size of struct page
77  * is a power of two. In most cases, the size of struct page is 64 bytes (e.g.
78  * x86-64 and arm64). So if we use pmd level mapping for a HugeTLB page, the
79  * size of struct page structs of it is 8 page frames which size depends on the
80  * size of the base page.
81  *
82  * For the HugeTLB page of the pud level mapping, then
83  *
84  *    struct_size = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(pmd_t) * struct_size(pmd)
85  *                = PAGE_SIZE / 8 * 8 (pages)
86  *                = PAGE_SIZE (pages)
87  *
88  * Where the struct_size(pmd) is the size of the struct page structs of a
89  * HugeTLB page of the pmd level mapping.
90  *
91  * E.g.: A 2MB HugeTLB page on x86_64 consists in 8 page frames while 1GB
92  * HugeTLB page consists in 4096.
93  *
94  * Next, we take the pmd level mapping of the HugeTLB page as an example to
95  * show the internal implementation of this optimization. There are 8 pages
96  * struct page structs associated with a HugeTLB page which is pmd mapped.
97  *
98  * Here is how things look before optimization.

123  * The value of page->compound_head is the same for all tail pages. The first
124  * page of page structs (page 0) associated with the HugeTLB page contains the 4
125  * page structs necessary to describe the HugeTLB. The only use of the remaining
126  * pages of page structs (page 1 to page 7) is to point to page->compound_head.
127  * Therefore, we can remap pages 2 to 7 to page 1. Only 2 pages of page structs
128  * will be used for each HugeTLB page. This will allow us to free the remaining
129  * 6 pages to the buddy allocator.
130  *

156  * When a HugeTLB is freed to the buddy system, we should allocate 6 pages for
157  * vmemmap pages and restore the previous mapping relationship.
158  *
159  * For the HugeTLB page of the pud level mapping. It is similar to the former.
160  * We also can use this approach to free (PAGE_SIZE - 2) vmemmap pages.
161  *
162  * Apart from the HugeTLB page of the pmd/pud level mapping, some architectures
163  * (e.g. aarch64) provides a contiguous bit in the translation table entries
164  * that hints to the MMU to indicate that it is one of a contiguous set of
165  * entries that can be cached in a single TLB entry.
166  *
167  * The contiguous bit is used to increase the mapping size at the pmd and pte
168  * (last) level. So this type of HugeTLB page can be optimized only when its
169  * size of the struct page structs is greater than 2 pages.
