The hugetlb reservation fix allocates surplus hugepages when global free
pages are outside nodes allowed by the current cpuset and MPOL_BIND policy.
This series updates hugemmap10's global counter expectations to match that
behavior.
Patch 1 fixes mappings that create their reservation at mmap() time. Patches
2 and 3 add and validate a MAP_NORESERVE private-mapping mode, which lets the
test exercise fault-time allocation without booting a kernel that lacks
private mmap-time reservations.
Changes in v4:
- Rebase onto 05aebc377 ("sys_hwmon01: always report a result").
- Preserve the memory policy mode flags and resolve MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES
masks against the current allowed memory nodes using nodes_fold() and
nodes_onto() semantics before checking overlap or counting free pages.
- Give hugemmap10 -n the distinct runtest identifier hugemmap10_noreserve
so session restore and reboot recovery track both invocations separately.
- Correct comments and commit messages to describe MAP_NORESERVE faults as
allocating unreserved hugepages, without creating a mapping reservation
or changing HugePages_Rsvd.
- Collect Reviewed-by in 2/3.
Changes in v3:
- Rebase onto 113594f53 ("hugemmap10: Treat fd 0 as valid in cleanup").
- Add hugemmap10 -n to runtest/hugetlb so the default suite exercises the
private fault-time allocation path.
- Remove the redundant private_noreserve variable and use
private_noreserve_opt directly to detect -n.
- Define MAP_TYPE in lapi/mmap.h when libc headers lack it, and include
that header in hugemmap10.c.
- Collect Reviewed-by in 1/3 and 3/3.
Tested on an eight-node system running v7.3, with cpuset
{3,5,6}: both default and -n invocations pass with relative MPOL_BIND {1,2}
and ordinary MPOL_BIND {5,6}. An additional -n run with relative {0,4}
also passes, exercising folding to physical nodes {3,5}.
