[PATCH v2 06/10] mm/hugetlb: vma_has_reserves() needs to handle fallocate hole punch

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Wed Jul 08 2015 - 20:23:49 EST


In vma_has_reserves(), the current assumption is that reserves are
always present for shared mappings. However, this will not be the
case with fallocate hole punch. When punching a hole, the present
page will be deleted as well as the region/reserve map entry (and
hence any reservation). vma_has_reserves is passed "chg" which
indicates whether or not a region/reserve map is present. Use
this to determine if reserves are actually present or were removed
via hole punch.
