hugetlb: ensure hugepage access is denied if hugepages are not supported
Currently, I am seeing the following when I `mount -t hugetlbfs /none
/dev/hugetlbfs`, and then simply do a `ls /dev/hugetlbfs`. I think it's
related to the fact that hugetlbfs is properly not correctly setting
itself up in this state?:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000031
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000245710
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries
....
In KVM guests on Power, in a guest not backed by hugepages, we see the
following:
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
HugePages_Total: 0
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 64 kB
HPAGE_SHIFT == 0 in this configuration, which indicates that hugepages
are not supported at boot-time, but this is only checked in
hugetlb_init(). Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.
This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment. I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use pr_info(), per Mel]
