At least you had an excuse :-) > I am not sure HVA alignment is really necessary here for hugetlb pages. > Different from hugetlb pages, the THP pages are dynamically allocated by > later madvise(), so the value of HVA returned from mmap() is host page size > aligned but not THP page size aligned, so we indeed have to perform > alignment. But hugetlb pages are pre-allocated on systems.

So maybe > HVAs of each hugetlb pages are aligned during allocation of them or in mmap()? Yep, I verified the generic and arch version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() that KVM supports all align the address. PARISC64 is the only one that looks suspect, but it doesn't support KVM. > If so, I think we better not do this again here, because the later > *region->mmap_size += alignment* will cause one more hugetlb page mapped but > will not be used. Agreed. I think I'll still add the assert, along with a comment calling out that HugetlB automatically handles alignment. Nice catch, thanks!
