f8142cf94d47 said:
If CONFIG_SYSFS and CONFIG_SYSCTL are both undefined, hugetlb
doesn't work now as there's no way to set max huge pages. Make
sure at least one of the above configs is defined to make hugetlb
works as expected.
So there is now a way to set max huge pages? A reference tot he
commit which made f8142cf94d47 unneeded might be helpful?
