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 reservations without booting an older kernel.
Changes in v2:
- Expand the v1 change[1] from mmap-time to private fault-time accounting
patches, with the MAP_NORESERVE test mode between them.
- Match hugetlb's MPOL_BIND behavior when its policy mask no longer overlaps
the current cpuset: fall back to the cpuset mask instead of treating the
allowed set as empty.
- Normalize nodemask bit tests to avoid truncating bits in the upper half of
an unsigned long on 64-bit systems.
- Add -n to map only private VMAs with MAP_NORESERVE. The reservation probe
uses the same flags, so the private_resv debug report reflects the actual
private mapping behavior. MAP_SHARED mappings are unchanged.
- Account for the allowed-node shortfall when an unreserved private mapping
first faults in touch_(), and share the reservation predicate with unmap_().
