AFAICS, remove_inode_hugepages() searches the address_space of the inode to remove the hugepages while does not care if inode has associated resv_map. How does it prevent hugetlb pages from being allocated/associated with the file if resv_map is NULL? Could you please explain this more? Many thanks. > Does that sound correct? >
