doc: move DM memory setup to GSG
DM memory allocation mechanism is better placed in the Getting Started material, so move it there from the primer. Signed-off-by: David B. Kinder <david.b.kinder@intel.com>

Device Manager memory allocation mechanism
|
||||
==========================================
|
||||
|
||||
There are two Device Manager memory allocation mechanisms available:
|
||||
|
||||
- Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA), and
|
||||
- Huge Page Tables (HugeTLB). HugeTLB is the default.
|
||||
|
||||
To choose CMA, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Add ``cma=reserved_mem_size@recommend_memory_offset-0``, (for example
|
||||
``cma=2560M@0x100000000-0``) to the SOS cmdline in ``acrn.conf``
|
||||
|
||||
2) Start ``acrn-dm`` *without* the ``-T`` option
|
||||
|
||||
To support HugeTLB, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Do huge page reservation
|
||||
|
||||
- For 1G huge page reservation, add ``hugepagesz=1G hugepages=reserved_pg_num``
|
||||
(for example, ``hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4``) to the SOS cmdline in
|
||||
``acrn.conf`` (for EFI)
|
||||
|
||||
- For 2M huge page reservation, after the SOS starts up, run the
|
||||
command::
|
||||
|
||||
echo reserved_pg_num > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
You can use 2M reserving method to do reservation for 1G page size, but it
|
||||
may fail. For an EFI platform, you may skip 1G page reservation
|
||||
by using a 2M page, but make sure your huge page reservation size is
|
||||
large enough for your usage.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Start ``acrn-dm`` *with* the ``-T`` option.
