A user or admin can configure a VMM (Qemu) Guest's memory to be backed by hugetlb pages for various reasons. However, a Guest OS would still allocate (and pin) buffers that are backed by regular 4k sized pages. In order to map these buffers and create dma-bufs for them on the Host, we first need to find the hugetlb pages where the buffer allocations are located and then determine the offsets of individual chunks (within those pages) and use this information to eventually populate a scatterlist. Testcase: default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=2500 options were passed to the Host kernel and Qemu was launched with these relevant options: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096m.... -device virtio-gpu-pci,max_outputs=1,blob=true,xres=1920,yres=1080 -display gtk,gl=on -object memory-backend-memfd,hugetlb=on,id=mem1,size=4096M -machine memory-backend=mem1 Replacing -display gtk,gl=on with -display gtk,gl=off above would exercise the mmap handler.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
