mm/hugetlb: fix nodes huge page allocation when there are surplus pages
In set_nr_huge_pages(), local variable "count" is used to record persistent_huge_pages(), but when it cames to nodes huge page allocation, the semantics changes to nr_huge_pages. When there exists surplus huge pages and using the interface under /sys/devices/system/node/node*/hugepages to change huge page pool size, this difference can result in the allocation of an unexpected number of huge pages. Steps to reproduce the bug: Starting with: Node 0 Node 1 Total HugePages_Total 0.00 0.00 0.00 HugePages_Free 0.00 0.00 0.00 HugePages_Surp 0.00 0.00 0.00 create 100 huge pages in Node 0 and consume it, then set Node 0 's nr_hugepages to 0. yields: Node 0 Node 1 Total HugePages_Total 200.00 0.00 200.00 HugePages_Free 0.00 0.00 0.00 HugePages_Surp 200.00 0.00 200.00 write 100 to Node 1's nr_hugepages echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/\ hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages gets: Node 0 Node 1 Total HugePages_Total 200.00 400.00 600.00 HugePages_Free 0.00 400.00 400.00 HugePages_Surp 200.00 0.00 200.00 Kernel is expected to create only 100 huge pages and it gives 200.
