Subject: hugetlb-add-map_hugetlb-for-mmaping-pseudo-anonymous-huge-page-regionspatch-in-mm-fix
From: Eric B Munson <ebmunson@xxxxxxxxxx>
The patch
hugetlb-add-map_hugetlb-for-mmaping-pseudo-anonymous-huge-page-regions.patch
used the value 0x40 for MAP_HUGETLB which is the same value used for
various other flags on some architectures. This collision causes
unexpected use of huge pages in the best case and mmap to fail with
ENOMEM or ENOSYS in the worst. This patch changes the value for
MAP_HUGETLB to a value that is not currently used on any arch.
This patch should be considered a fix to
hugetlb-add-map_hugetlb-for-mmaping-pseudo-anonymous-huge-page-regions.patch.
