From 17c9d12e126cb0de8d535dc1908c4819d712bc68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:34:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Do not account for hugetlbfs quota at mmap() time if mapping [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE Commit 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003 brought hugetlbfs more in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE are specified. However, it is still taking filesystem quota unconditionally. At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate the page and account for filesystem quota. If either fail, the fault fails. The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice. This patch partially reverts 5a6fe125950676015f5108fb71b2a67441755003. To help prevent this mistake happening again, it improves the documentation of hugetlb_reserve_pages() Reported-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman Acked-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
