mm/hugetlb: fix total hugetlbfs pages count when using memory overcommit accouting
hugetlb_total_pages is used for overcommit calculations but the current implementation considers only the default hugetlb page size (which is either the first defined hugepage size or the one specified by default_hugepagesz kernel boot parameter). If the system is configured for more than one hugepage size, which is possible since commit a137e1cc6d6e ("hugetlbfs: per mount huge page sizes") then the overcommit estimation done by __vm_enough_memory() (resp. shown by meminfo_proc_show) is not precise - there is an impression of more available/allowed memory. This can lead to an unexpected ENOMEM/EFAULT resp. SIGSEGV when memory is accounted. Testcase: boot: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1 the default overcommit ratio is 50 before patch: egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo CommitLimit: 55434168 kB after patch: egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo CommitLimit: 54909880 kB [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style tweak] Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <dhillf@gmail.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.0+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
