+HugeTLB Controller
+-------------------
+
+The HugeTLB controller allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
+enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
+support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
+the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
+beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much
+HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.
+
+HugeTLB controller can be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem.
+
+# mount -t cgroup -o hugetlb none /sys/fs/cgroup
+
+With the above step, the initial or the parent HugeTLB group becomes
+visible at /sys/fs/cgroup. At bootup, this group includes all the tasks in
+the system. /sys/fs/cgroup/tasks lists the tasks in this cgroup.
+
+New groups can be created under the parent group /sys/fs/cgroup.
+
+# cd /sys/fs/cgroup
+# mkdir g1
+# echo $$ > g1/tasks
+
+The above steps create a new group g1 and move the current shell
+process (bash) into it.
