Hari Bathini 8597538712 powerpc/fadump: Do not use hugepages when fadump is active
FADump capture kernel boots in restricted memory environment preserving
the context of previous kernel to save vmcore. Supporting hugepages in
such environment makes things unnecessarily complicated, as hugepages
need memory set aside for them. This means most of the capture kernel's
memory is used in supporting hugepages. In most cases, this results in
out-of-memory issues while booting FADump capture kernel. But hugepages
are not of much use in capture kernel whose only job is to save vmcore.
So, disabling hugepages support, when fadump is active, is a reliable
solution for the out of memory issues. Introducing a flag variable to
disable HugeTLB support when fadump is active.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
