Hi All,
I am trying to use the for-next/pgtable branch with the top commit,
commit 068a17a5805dfbca4bbf03e664ca6b19709cc7a8

arm64: mm: create new fine-grained mappings at boot
Setup: ARMv8, Cavium ThunderX, 48Cores 64G ram.
linux config: defconfig + 16k page size.
Observations:
a) During linux boot I see some oom messages
http://pastebin.com/8jSMFhqf
b) cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 66613760 kB
MemFree: 307328 kB
MemAvailable: 22416 kB
Available memory is very less compared to total.
c) With 64K pagesize
MemTotal: 66831552 kB
MemFree: 3541184 kB
MemAvailable: 3298752 kB
So it seems there is some issue with 16k only.
Need some inputs how to fix this
Regards,
Manish Jaggi
