- hugepages= [HW,X86-32,IA-64] Maximal number of HugeTLB pages.
- hugepagesz= [HW,IA-64,PPC] The size of the HugeTLB pages.
+ hugepages= [HW,X86-32,IA-64] HugeTLB pages to allocate at boot.
+ hugepagesz= [HW,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] The size of the HugeTLB pages.
+ On x86-64 and powerpc, this option can be specified
+ multiple times interleaved with hugepages= to reserve
+ huge pages of different sizes. Valid pages sizes on
+ x86-64 are 2M (when the CPU supports "pse") and 1G
+ (when the CPU supports the "pdpe1gb" cpuinfo flag)
+ Note that 1GB pages can only be allocated at boot time
+ using hugepages= and not freed afterwards.
+ default_hugepagesz=
+ [same as hugepagesz=] The size of the default
+ HugeTLB page size. This is the size represented by
+ the legacy /proc/ hugepages APIs, used for SHM, and
+ default size when mounting hugetlbfs filesystems.
+ Defaults to the default architecture's huge page size
+ if not specified.
