This comment and name should have been updated when hugetlbfs support was added. Also, ideally all the memfd related function names of the form shmem_* should have been changed to memfd_* when hugetlbfs support was added. Some of them were changed, but not all. I can clean all this up. But, I would want to do it in patch 2 of the series. That is where other cleanup such as this was done before code movement. Will wait a little while for any additional comments before sending series again. -- Mike Kravetz
