      shm: fix the filename of hugetlb sysv shared memory · 9d66586f
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Some user space tools need to identify SYSV shared memory when examining
      /proc/<pid>/maps.  To do so they look for a block device with major zero, a
      dentry named SYSV<sysv key>, and having the minor of the internal sysv
      shared memory kernel mount.
      
      To help these tools and to make it easier for people just browsing
      /proc/<pid>/maps this patch modifies hugetlb sysv shared memory to use the
      SYSV<key> dentry naming convention.
      
      User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv shared
      memory lives on a different internal kernel mount and so has a different
      block device minor number from the rest of sysv shared memory.
