 allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
 sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.
 
+With support for multiple hugepage pools at run-time available, much of
+the hugepage userspace interface has been duplicated in sysfs. The above
+information applies to the default hugepage size (which will be
+controlled by the proc interfaces for backwards compatibility). The root
+hugepage control directory is
+
+        /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages
+
+For each hugepage size supported by the running kernel, a subdirectory
+will exist, of the form
+
+        hugepages-${size}kB
+
+Inside each of these directories, the same set of files will exist:
+
+        nr_hugepages
+        nr_overcommit_hugepages
+        free_hugepages
+        resv_hugepages

 If the user applications are going to request hugepages using mmap system
 call, then it is required that system administrator mount a file system of
 type hugetlbfs:
