I built an Artful test kernel(17.10) with the following three commits: 4ae279c2 powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Allow runtime allocation of 16G. 79cc38de powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Add support for reserving gigantic huge pages via kernel command line e24a1307 mm/hugetlb: Allow arch to override and call the weak function
Commits e1073d1e7 and 40692eb5 were not needed since there are already in Artful/4.13. The test kernel can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1706247/artful Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? I will work on building Zesty and Xenial test kernels next. They required those two extra commits and they need some back porting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706247 Title: It should not be possible to turn on 16g huge pages on Ubuntu 16.04.2 PowerNV To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1706247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
