Egads... So to find out whether it's a hugetlb you would * check if a method is NULL * if not, call it * ... and check if the method table of the result is hugetlbfs one? Here's a radical suggestion: FMODE_HUGEPAGES. Just have it set by ->open() and let is_file_hugepages() check it. In ->f_mode. And make the bloody hugetlbfs_file_operations static, while we are at it.
