For non-4K PAGE_SIZE configs, the largest gigantic huge page size is
CONT_PMD_SHIFT order. On arm64 with 64K PAGE_SIZE, the gigantic page is
16G. Therefore, one should be able to specify 'hugetlb_cma=16G' on the
kernel command line so that one gigantic page can be allocated from CMA.
However, when adding such an option the following message is produced:
hugetlb_cma: cma area should be at least 8796093022208 MiB
This is because the calculation for non-4K gigantic page order is
incorrect in the arm64 specific routine arm64_hugetlb_cma_reserve().
Fixes: abb7962adc ("arm64/hugetlb: Reserve CMA areas for gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configs")

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.
