OK, so here we go with the fix.

Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: fix surplus pages accounting
Dan Rue has noticed that libhugetlbfs test suite fails counter test:
root@localhost:~# mount_point="/mnt/hugetlb/"
root@localhost:~# echo 200 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
root@localhost:~# mkdir -p "${mount_point}"
root@localhost:~# mount -t hugetlbfs hugetlbfs "${mount_point}"
root@localhost:~# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/obj64
root@localhost:~# /root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/tests/obj64/counters
Starting testcase "/root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/tests/obj64/counters", pid 3319
Base pool size: 0
Clean...
FAIL Line 326: Bad HugePages_Total: expected 0, actual 1
The bug was bisected to 0c397daea1d4 ("mm, hugetlb: further simplify
hugetlb allocation API"). The reason is that alloc_surplus_huge_page misaccounts
per node surplus pages. We should increase surplus_huge_pages_node rather than
nr_huge_pages_node which is already handled by alloc_fresh_huge_page.
