Architectures like arm64 have HugeTLB page sizes which are different than generic sizes at PMD, PUD, PGD level and implemented via contiguous bits. At present these special size HugeTLB pages cannot be identified through macros like (PMD|PUD|PGDIR)_SHIFT and hence chosen not be migrated. Enabling migration support for these special HugeTLB page sizes along with the generic ones (PMD|PUD|PGD) would require identifying all of them on a given platform. A platform specific hook can precisely enumerate all huge page sizes supported for migration. Instead of comparing against standard huge page orders let hugetlb_migration_support() function call a platform hook arch_hugetlb_migration_support(). Default definition for the platform hook maintains existing semantics which checks standard huge page order. But an architecture can choose to override the default and provide support for a comprehensive set of huge page sizes.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
