When huge page demotion is fully implemented, gigantic pages can be demoted to a smaller huge page size. For example, on x86 a 1G page can be demoted to 512 2M pages. However, gigantic pages can potentially be allocated from CMA. If a gigantic page which was allocated from CMA is demoted, the corresponding demoted pages needs to be returned to CMA. Use the new interface cma_pages_valid() to determine if a non-gigantic hugetlb page should be freed to CMA. Also, clear mapping field of these pages as expected by cma_release. This also requires a change to CMA region creation for gigantic pages. CMA uses a per-region bit map to track allocations. When setting up the region, you specify how many pages each bit represents. Currently, only gigantic pages are allocated/freed from CMA so the region is set up such that one bit represents a gigantic page size allocation. With demote, a gigantic page (allocation) could be split into smaller size pages. And, these smaller size pages will be freed to CMA. So, since the per-region bit map needs to be set up to represent the smallest allocation/free size, it now needs to be set to the smallest huge page size which can be freed to CMA. Unfortunately, we set up the CMA region for huge pages before we set up huge pages sizes (hstates). So, technically we do not know the smallest huge page size as this can change via command line options and architecture specific code. Therefore, at region setup time we use HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER as the smallest possible huge page size that can be given back to CMA. It is possible that this value is sub-optimal for some architectures/config options. If needed, this can be addressed in follow on 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.
