huegtlbfs: fix page leak during migration of file pages
Files can be created and mapped in an explicitly mounted hugetlbfs filesystem. If pages in such files are migrated, the filesystem usage will not be decremented for the associated pages. This can result in mmap or page allocation failures as it appears there are fewer pages in the filesystem than there should be. For example, a test program which hole punches, faults and migrates pages in such a file (1G in size) will eventually fail because it can not allocate a page. Reported counts and usage at time of failure: node0 537 free_hugepages 1024 nr_hugepages 0 surplus_hugepages node1 1000 free_hugepages 1024 nr_hugepages 0 surplus_hugepages Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on nodev 4.0G 4.0G 0 100% /var/opt/hugepool Note that the filesystem shows 4G of pages used, while actual usage is 511 pages (just under 1G). Failed trying to allocate page 512. If a hugetlb page is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem, this information in contained in the page_private field. At migration time, this information is not preserved. To fix, simply transfer page_private from old to new page at migration time if necessary. Also, migrate_page_states() unconditionally clears page_private and PagePrivate of the old page. It is unlikely, but possible that these fields could be non-NULL and are needed at hugetlb free page time. So, do not touch these fields for hugetlb pages.
