I am not sure I understand. $ git grep SHM_HUGE_ include/uapi/ $ So there doesn't seem to be any user visible constant. The man page mentiones is but I do not really see how is the userspace supposed to use it.
Yeah, userspace is not supposed to use it, it's just there because the manpage describes kernel internals. I'm not really a big fan of touching manpages (and ipc is already full of corner cases), but I guess nobody can really complain if we rip out all the SHM_HUGE_ stuff.
