Patch series "mm, hwpoison: enable 1GB hugepage support", v7.
This patch (of 8):
I found a weird state of 1GB hugepage pool, caused by the following
procedure:
- run a process reserving all free 1GB hugepages,
- shrink free 1GB hugepage pool to zero (i.e. writing 0 to
/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages), then
- kill the reserving process.
, then all the hugepages are free *and* surplus at the same time.
$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
3
$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages
3
$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/resv_hugepages
0
$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/surplus_hugepages

This state is resolved by reserving and allocating the pages then freeing
them again, so this seems not to result in serious problem. But it's a
little surprising (shrinking pool suddenly fails).
This behavior is caused by hstate_is_gigantic() check in
return_unused_surplus_pages(). This was introduced so long ago in 2008 by
commit aa888a74977a ("hugetlb: support larger than MAX_ORDER"), and at
that time the gigantic pages were not supposed to be allocated/freed at
run-time. Now kernel can support runtime allocation/free, so let's check
gigantic_page_runtime_supported() together.
