Subject: [patch 0/2] introduce /dev/hugetlb char device
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 15:40:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b040c32a0703231540i56da0877o3da11fcd5929b4e2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

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.
