Kernel development regression testing
=====================================

The most complete set of hugetlb tests are in the libhugetlbfs repository.
If you modify any hugetlb related code, use the libhugetlbfs test suite
to check for regressions. In addition, if you add any new hugetlb
functionality, please add appropriate tests to libhugetlbfs.
