It doesnt. However its got a slightly different footprint because this
is RHEL6 and
there have been changes to the hugetlbfs_inode code. Also, we are
seeing the
problem via group_exit() rather than shmdt(). Also, I print out the
actual _mapcount
at the BUG and most of the time its 1 but have seen it as high as 6.
