Also I've checked mmap2 and munmap implementation of current linux kernel.
When a file on hugetlbfs is mapped, 'size' will be aligned by hugepages
size in some case.
But when munmap is called, 'size' will be aligned by PAGE_SIZE.
It mean we cannot use same 'size' value for mmap and munmap in some case.
I guess this implementation or specification cases the munmap issue.

Thanks,
