&gt; I am having the following query regarding Huge pages and hugetlbfs.<br>
&gt; 1-&gt; How Hugetlbfs is dependent on hardware ?<br>
<br>
Hugetlbfs needs two things:<br>
1) the hardware supports large pages, simultaneously running<br>
    with normal sized pages<br>
2) someone wrote the hugetlbfs architecture dependent code<br>
    for that hardware<br>
<br>
&gt; 2-&gt; Huge pages which is architecture dependent and  ARM arm<br>
&gt; architecture supports Tiny, small and large pages will it support<br>
&gt; hugetlbfs if not then why ?<br>
<br>
That I don&#39;t know.  Does ARM support running with normal and<br>
large pages simultaneously?<br>
