Revert "hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl"
This reverts commit 54f9f80d6543fb7b157d3b11e2e7911dc1379790 ("hugetlb: Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl") Given the new sysctl nr_overcommit_hugepages, the boolean dynamic pool sysctl is not needed, as its semantics can be expressed by 0 in the overcommit sysctl (no dynamic pool) and non-0 in the overcommit sysctl (pool enabled). (Needed in 2.6.24 since it reverts a post-2.6.23 userspace-visible change) Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> Cc: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Cc: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
