Manually padding and aligning the mmap region is only needed when using THP. When using HugeTLB, mmap will always return an address aligned to the HugeTLB page size. Add a comment to clarify this and assert the mmap behavior for HugeTLB. [Removed requirement that HugeTLB mmaps must be padded per Yanan's feedback and added assertion that mmap returns aligned addresses when using HugeTLB.] Cc: Ben Gardon <bgardon@google.com> Cc: Yanan Wang <wangyanan55@huawei.com> Cc: Andrew Jones <drjones@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Aaron Lewis <aaronlewis@google.com> Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by: David Matlack <dmatlack@google.com> Message-Id: <20211111000310.1435032-4-dmatlack@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> |

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 Restructured Text 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.
