hi everyone,
   i am a kernel newbie, i wanted to know something about hugetlbfs.
     -   is huge pages only accessible to root user ?
     -   if so, when a process tries to accesses a huge page, how does
 kernel checks if its an authorized User ID (or root user id) ?

Well dude, try looking into the sources, where the changes are made
for tugetlbfs. I think that might help you to get some information
about it.
