From 27e21aeab65d9e47261722066a044d9a0a5cf7a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:46:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb.c: correct missing private flag clearing We should clear the page's private flag when returing the page to the hugepage pool. Otherwise, marked hugepage can be allocated to the user who tries to allocate the non-reserved hugepage. If this user fail to map this hugepage, he would try to return the page to the hugepage pool. Since this page has a private flag, resv_huge_pages would mistakenly increase. This patch fixes this situation.
