| |
Introduce /dev/hugetlb device that behaves similar to /dev/zero for allocating anonymous hugetlb page. It is especially beneficial that application developers can have an easy way to create MAP_PRIVATE hugetlb mappings without all the fuss about the hugetlbfs filesystem.
Two follow on patches has more detail description for each changeset.
