The patch titled
Doc: vm/hugetlbpage update-2
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
doc-vm-hugetlbpage-update-2.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add new line of /proc/meminfo output.
Explain the HugePage_ lines in /proc/meminfo (from Bill Irwin).
Change KB to kB since the latter is what is used in the kernel.

+HugePages_Total is the size of the pool of hugepages.
+HugePages_Free is the number of hugepages in the pool that are not yet
+allocated.
+HugePages_Rsvd is short for "reserved," and is the number of hugepages
+for which a commitment to allocate from the pool has been made, but no
+allocation has yet been made. It's vaguely analogous to overcommit.
/proc/filesystems should also show a filesystem of type "hugetlbfs" configured
in the kernel.
