From 4e52780d41a741fb4861ae1df2413dd816ec11b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric B Munson Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:03:47 -0700 Subject: hugetlb: add MAP_HUGETLB for mmaping pseudo-anonymous huge page regions Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that will look like anonymous memory to userspace. This is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.
