1/*
2 * hugepage-mmap:
3 *
4 * Example of using huge page memory in a user application using the mmap
5 * system call. Before running this application, make sure that the
6 * administrator has mounted the hugetlbfs filesystem (on some directory
7 * like /mnt) using the command mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt. In this
8 * example, the app is requesting memory of size 256MB that is backed by
9 * huge pages.
10 *
11 * For the ia64 architecture, the Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for
12 * huge pages. That means that if one requires a fixed address, a huge page
13 * aligned address starting with 0x800000... will be required. If a fixed
14 * address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper
15 * range.
16 * Other architectures, such as ppc64, i386 or x86_64 are not so constrained.
