    hugetlb: fix quota management for private mappings · c79fb75e
    Adam Litke authored
    The hugetlbfs quota management system was never taught to handle MAP_PRIVATE
    mappings when that support was added.  Currently, quota is debited at page
    instantiation and credited at file truncation.  This approach works correctly
    for shared pages but is incomplete for private pages.  In addition to
    hugetlb_no_page(), private pages can be instantiated by hugetlb_cow(); but
    this function does not respect quotas.
    
    Private huge pages are treated very much like normal, anonymous pages.  They
    are not "backed" by the hugetlbfs file and are not stored in the mapping's
    radix tree.  This means that private pages are invisible to
    truncate_hugepages() so that function will not credit the quota.
    
    This patch (based on a prototype provided by Ken Chen) moves quota crediting
    for all pages into free_huge_page().  page->private is used to store a pointer
    to the mapping to which this page belongs.  This is used to credit quota on
    the appropriate hugetlbfs instance.
