Hugetlbfs needs two things: 1) the hardware supports large pages, simultaneously running with normal sized pages 2) someone wrote the hugetlbfs architecture dependent code for that hardware
2-> Huge pages which is architecture dependent and ARM arm architecture supports Tiny, small and large pages will it support hugetlbfs if not then why ?
That I don't know. Does ARM support running with normal and large pages simultaneously? -- All rights reversed.
