NAME

Note: This is EXEPRIMENTAL API. The functionality and the header file itself can be changed (including non-backward compatible changes), or remove.

SYNOPSIS

#include <memkind/internal/memkind_hugetlb.h>

Link with -lmemkind

int memkind_hugetlb_check_available_2mb(struct memkind *kind);


int memkind_hugetlb_check_available_1gb(struct memkind *kind);


int memkind_hugetlb_get_mmap_flags(struct memkind *kind, int *flags);


void memkind_hugetlb_init_once(void);

DESCRIPTION

The hugetlb memory memkind operations enable memory kinds which use the Linux hugetlbfs file system. For more information about the hugetlbfs see link below.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt

memkind_hugetlb_check_available_2mb() Check if there are 2MB pages reserved in the default hugetlbfs. If the kind implements ops.get_mbind_nodemask(), then only the NUMA nodes set by the nodemask are checked, otherwise every NUMA node is checked.

memkind_hugetlb_check_available_1gb() Similar to memkind_hugetlb_check_available_2mb() except that the check is for 1GB pages instead of 2MB pages.

memkind_hugetlb_get_mmap_flags() Sets the flags for the mmap() system call such that the hugetlbfs is utilized for allocations.

memkind_hugetlb_init_once() This function initializes MEMKIND_HUGETLB kind and it should not be called more than once. Note: memkind_hugetlb_init_once() may reserve some extra memory.
