Re: How to allocate hugepage in kernel module?

Forgot to CC kernelnewbies: Did you pass the __GFP_COMP flag to __get_free_pages? On 8/9/12, J.Hwan Kim <frog1120@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, everyone

How can I allocate physically contiguous huge page in kernel module ? The routine of _get_fee_pages() fails whenever there are much free memory in system.

I found the procedures for set hugepages with sysctl or /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages but I've not found the api for allocate the huge page in kernel.

Thanks in advnace.
