Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] dts: Change hugepage runtime config to 2MB Exclusively
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:26:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKXZ7eh5eXopKP=5-54qD71MNmzsPBxPKHzU3tcJByit7tmh7w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240416181840.11539-1-npratte@iol.unh.edu>
I like the changes suggested by Morten, and much such modifications
accordingly. Given that the hugepage size will likely be determined by
arch going forward, looking ahead, when considering patch 1360 and
ongoing config changes, I decided to create a property method in the
Node object that can be modified to our liking in the future (credit
to Jeremy for this idea). This solution is designed in such a way
that, when arch is discovered and removed from the config, hugepage
sizes can be determined right after discovering the arch (this is just
to save me time in the future when working on patch 1360). I also
opted to throw the size variable back into the methods under
linux_session.py (per Morten's suggestions), but given the
implementation Jeremy and I worked on, there is no need to have the
get_hugepage_size() method in linux_session.py as we likely won't need
it going forward, so this has been removed.
