Subject: thp: make MADV_HUGEPAGE check for mm->def_flags
X-Git-Tag: next-20120927~1^2~303
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c7c22534e8d4e8ae3f23b1b8b1c1498c53faccdb;p=karo-tx-linux.git

thp: make MADV_HUGEPAGE check for mm->def_flags

This adds a check to hugepage_madvise(), to refuse MADV_HUGEPAGE if
VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set in mm->def_flags.  On s390, the VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag
will be set in mm->def_flags for kvm processes, to prevent any future thp
mappings.  In order to also prevent MADV_HUGEPAGE on such an mm,
hugepage_madvise() should check mm->def_flags.
