Subject: x86: vmalloc and THP

Hello,

Does memory allocated using vmalloc() will be mapped using huge pages 
either directly or later by THP ?

If not, is there any fast way to change this behavior ? Maybe by 
changing the granularity/alignment of such allocations to allow such 
mapping ?

Thanks,
Oren Twaig.
