A bug was reported by Yuanxi Liu where allocating 1G pages at runtime is taking an excessive amount of time for large amounts of memory. Further testing allocating huge pages that the cost is linear i.e. if allocating 1G pages in batches of 10 then the time to allocate nr_hugepages from 10->20->30->etc increases linearly even though 10 pages are allocated at each step. Profiles indicated that much of the time is spent checking the validity within already existing huge pages and then attempting a migration that fails after isolating the range, draining pages and a whole lot of other useless work.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
