mm/hugetlb: fix nodes huge page allocation when there are surplus pages
In set_nr_huge_pages(), local variable "count" is used to record
persistent_huge_pages(), but when it cames to nodes huge page allocation,
the semantics changes to nr_huge_pages. When there exists surplus huge
pages and using the interface under
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/hugepages to change huge page pool size,
this difference can result in the allocation of an unexpected number of
huge pages.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
Starting with:
Node 0 Node 1 Total
HugePages_Total 0.00 0.00 0.00
HugePages_Free 0.00 0.00 0.00
HugePages_Surp 0.00 0.00 0.00
create 100 huge pages in Node 0 and consume it, then set Node 0 's
nr_hugepages to 0.
yields:
Node 0 Node 1 Total
HugePages_Total 200.00 0.00 200.00
HugePages_Free 0.00 0.00 0.00
HugePages_Surp 200.00 0.00 200.00
write 100 to Node 1's nr_hugepages
echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/\
hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
gets:
Node 0 Node 1 Total
HugePages_Total 200.00 400.00 600.00
HugePages_Free 0.00 400.00 400.00
HugePages_Surp 200.00 0.00 200.00
Kernel is expected to create only 100 huge pages and it gives 200.
