"hugetlb_total_pages is used for overcommit calculations but the
current implementation considers only default hugetlb page size (which
is either the first defined hugepage size or the one specified by
default_hugepagesz kernel boot parameter).
If the system is configured for more than one hugepage size (which is
possible since a137e1cc hugetlbfs: per mount huge page sizes) then
the overcommit estimation done by __vm_enough_memory (resp. shown by
meminfo_proc_show) is not precise - there is an impression of more
available/allowed memory. This can lead to an unexpected ENOMEM/EFAULT
resp. SIGSEGV when memory is accounted."
The patch should also push to 2.6.27 stable tree.
Testcase:
boot: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1
the default overcommit ratio is 50
before patch:
egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
CommitLimit: 55434168 kB
after patch:
egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
CommitLimit: 54909880 kB
