    [PATCH] Fix hugetlb-vs-memory overcommit · c1c0d518

    Two problems:
    
    a) The memory overcommit code fails oto take into account all the pages
       which are pinned by being reserved for the hugetlbpage pool
    
    b) We're performing overcommit accounting and checking on behalf of
       hugetlbpage vmas.
    
    The main thrust is to ensure that VM_ACCOUNT actually only gets set on
    vma's which are indeed accountable.  With that ensured much of the rest
    comes out in the wash.  It also removes the hugetlb memory for the
    overcommit_memory=2 case.
