From 5d317b2b6536592a9b51fe65faed43d65ca9158e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naoya Horiguchi Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 18:47:14 -0800 Subject: mm: hugetlb: proc: add HugetlbPages field to /proc/PID/status Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages, which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory (including hugetlb) they use. So this patch simply provides easy access to the info via /proc/PID/status.
