[RFC PATCH 1/2] mm/hugetlbfs: Attempt PUD_SIZE mapping alignment if PMD sharing enabled

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Mon Mar 28 2016 - 21:13:56 EST


When creating a hugetlb mapping, attempt PUD_SIZE alignment if the
following conditions are met:
- Address passed to mmap or shmat is NULL
- The mapping is flaged as shared
- The mapping is at least PUD_SIZE in length
If a PUD_SIZE aligned mapping can not be created, then fall back to a
huge page size mapping.
