Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v1 0/3] mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios

Use __GFP_COMP for gigantic folios can greatly reduce not only the
complexity in the code but also the allocation and free time.

Approximate LOC to mm/hugetlb.c: -200, +50

Allocate and free 500 1GB hugeTLB memory without HVO by:
  time echo 500 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
  time echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

       Before  After
Alloc  ~13s    ~10s
Free   ~15s    <1s

The above magnitude generally holds for multiple x86 and arm64 CPU
models.

Yu Zhao (3):
  mm/contig_alloc: support __GFP_COMP
  mm/cma: add cma_alloc_folio()
  mm/hugetlb: use __GFP_COMP for gigantic folios
