mm/hugetlb: retry to allocate for early boot hugepage allocation
In cloud environments with massive hugepage reservations (95%+ of system RAM), single-attempt allocation during early boot often fails due to memory pressure. Commit 91f386bf0772 ("hugetlb: batch freeing of vmemmap pages") intensified this by deferring page frees, increase peak memory usage during allocation. Introduce a retry mechanism that leverages vmemmap optimization reclaim (~1.6% memory) when available. Upon initial allocation failure, the system retries until successful or no further progress is made, ensuring reliable hugepage allocation while preserving batched vmemmap freeing benefits. Testing on a 256G machine allocating 252G of hugepages: Before: 128056/129024 hugepages allocated After: Successfully allocated all 129024 hugepages Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250901082052.3247-1-lirongqing@baidu.com Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com> Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Cc: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
