From adbe8726dc2a3805630d517270db17e3af86e526 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric B Munson Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:47:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: do not allow pagesize >= MAX_ORDER pool adjustment Huge pages with order >= MAX_ORDER must be allocated at boot via the kernel command line, they cannot be allocated or freed once the kernel is up and running. Currently we allow values to be written to the sysfs and sysctl files controling pool size for these huge page sizes. This patch makes the store functions for nr_hugepages and nr_overcommit_hugepages return -EINVAL when the pool for a page size >= MAX_ORDER is changed.
