Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Dan Rue has noticed that libhugetlbfs test suite fails counter test:
# mount_point="/mnt/hugetlb/"
# echo 200 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
# mkdir -p "${mount_point}"
# mount -t hugetlbfs hugetlbfs "${mount_point}"
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/obj64
# /root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/tests/obj64/counters
Starting testcase "/root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/tests/obj64/counters", pid 3319
Base pool size: 0
Clean...
FAIL Line 326: Bad HugePages_Total: expected 0, actual 1
The bug was bisected to 0c397dae ("mm, hugetlb: further simplify
hugetlb allocation API").
The reason is that alloc_surplus_huge_page() misaccounts per node
surplus pages. We should increase surplus_huge_pages_node rather than
nr_huge_pages_node which is already handled by alloc_fresh_huge_page.
