memory_block_size_bytes() determines the memory hotplug granularity i.e the amount of memory which can be hot added or hot removed from the kernel. The generic value here being MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS) for memory_block_size_bytes() on platforms like arm64 that does not override. Current SECTION_SIZE_BITS is 30 i.e 1GB which is large and a reduction here increases memory hotplug granularity, thus improving its agility. A reduced section size also reduces memory wastage in vmemmmap mapping for sections with large memory holes. So we try to set the least section size as possible. A section size bits selection must follow: (MAX_ORDER - 1 + PAGE_SHIFT) <= SECTION_SIZE_BITS CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER is always defined on arm64 and so just following it would help achieve the smallest section size. SECTION_SIZE_BITS = (CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER - 1 + PAGE_SHIFT) SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 22 (11 - 1 + 12) i.e 4MB for 4K pages SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 24 (11 - 1 + 14) i.e 16MB for 16K pages without THP SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 25 (12 - 1 + 14) i.e 32MB for 16K pages with THP SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 26 (11 - 1 + 16) i.e 64MB for 64K pages without THP SECTION_SIZE_BITS = 29 (14 - 1 + 16) i.e 512MB for 64K pages with THP But there are other problems in reducing SECTION_SIZE_BIT. Reducing it by too much would over populate /sys/devices/system/memory/ and also consume too many page->flags bits in the !vmemmap case. Also section size needs to be multiple of 128MB to have PMD based vmemmap mapping with CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES. Given these constraints, lets just reduce the section size to 128MB for 4K and 16K base page size configs, and to 512MB for 64K base page size config.

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.
