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
3
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

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
