Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64/mm: add fallback option to allocate virtually contiguous memory
Date:   Wed, 30 Sep 2020 16:13:25 -0700

Precedence: bulk

When section mappings are enabled, we allocate vmemmap pages from physically
continuous memory of size PMD_SIZE using vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(). Section
mappings are good to reduce TLB pressure. But when system is highly fragmented
and memory blocks are being hot-added at runtime, its possible that such
physically continuous memory allocations can fail. Rather than failing the
memory hot-add procedure, add a fallback option to allocate vmemmap pages from
discontinuous pages using vmemmap_populate_basepages().
