mm/hugetlb: fix huge page reserve accounting for private mappings
When creating a private mapping of a hugetlbfs file, it is possible to unmap pages via ftruncate or fallocate hole punch. If subsequent faults repopulate these mappings, the reserve counts will go negative. This is because the code currently assumes all faults to private mappings will consume reserves. The problem can be recreated as follows: - mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) a file in hugetlbfs filesystem - write fault in pages in the mapping - fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) some pages in the mapping - write fault in pages in the hole This will result in negative huge page reserve counts and negative subpool usage counts for the hugetlbfs. Note that this can also be recreated with ftruncate, but fallocate is more straight forward. This patch modifies the routines vma_needs_reserves and vma_has_reserves to examine the reserve map associated with private mappings similar to that for shared mappings. However, the reserve map semantics for private and shared mappings are very different. This results in subtly different code that is explained in the comments.
