From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Fri Aug 11 2017 - 19:57:05 EST


This is a resend of the patch sent in the RFC:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1502149672-7759-1-git-send-email-mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx

It addresses the issues with the commit message raised by Michal Hocko.
Only the commit message is modified, the code from the RFC patch is the
same.

In addition, a new patch is included to modify the memfd selftest. The
modifications allow basic functionality testing of memfd_create with
hugetlbfs.
