From 28073b02bfaaed1e3278acfb8e6e7c9f76d9f2b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hillf Danton Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:34:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: hugetlb: defer freeing pages when gathering surplus pages When gathering surplus pages, the number of needed pages is recomputed after reacquiring hugetlb lock to catch changes in resv_huge_pages and free_huge_pages. Plus it is recomputed with the number of newly allocated pages involved. Thus freeing pages can be deferred a bit to see if the final page request is satisfied, though pages could be allocated less than needed.
