@vbabka @kernellogger @sj @ljs

the strategy of utilizing LLMs for documentation might be useful for motivating someone to think "Oh, this is a piece of shit, I should completely rewrite it"

I was unable to access my school's e-learning site this morning. Turns out I was expelled from school for unknown reason. I was panicking, but a school employee called me to say that there was a mistake while processing scholarship for school tuition and everything will be fine.

I use KVM only for kernel development and virtualbox/vmware for other work.

Because I'm not familiar with KVM yet,
maybe this is the chance to completely migrate to KVM ;)

I thought maybe freeing unnecessary vmemmap pages for HugeTLB pages might be the case, but it seems to remap to first vmemmap page. And if I am not mistaken pfn_valid() will return true for them.

TIL: NUMA configuration and distance matrix are parsed from device trees, ACPI, or dummy configuration is used.
