mm/hugetlb: fix huge page reserve accounting for private mappings
When creating a private mapping of a hugetlbfs file, it is possible to
unmap pages via ftruncate or fallocate hole punch. If subsequent faults
repopulate these mappings, the reserve counts will go negative. This is
because the code currently assumes all faults to private mappings will
consume reserves. The problem can be recreated as follows:
- mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) a file in hugetlbfs filesystem
- write fault in pages in the mapping
- fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) some pages in the mapping
- write fault in pages in the hole
This will result in negative huge page reserve counts and negative
subpool usage counts for the hugetlbfs. Note that this can also be
recreated with ftruncate, but fallocate is more straight forward.
This patch modifies the routines vma_needs_reserves and vma_has_reserves
to examine the reserve map associated with private mappings similar to
that for shared mappings. However, the reserve map semantics for
private and shared mappings are very different. This results in subtly
different code that is explained in the comments.
