mm/vmemmap optimization: split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization
Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to read-only) and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes. That is not supported without unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some architectures. With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb vmemmap optimization disabled. Hence split DAX optimization support into a different config. s390, loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support. So the DAX config is not enabled for them. With this change, arm64 should be able to select DAX optimization [1] commit 060a2c92 ("arm64: mm: hugetlb: Disable HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230724190759.483013-8-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.comSigned-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Cc: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
