Subject: mm/hugetlb.c: fix unnecessary address expansion of pmd sharing
The current code would unnecessarily expand the address range. Consider
one example, (start, end) = (1G-2M, 3G+2M), and (vm_start, vm_end) =
(1G-4M, 3G+4M), the expected adjustment should be keep (1G-2M, 3G+2M)
without expand. But the current result will be (1G-4M, 3G+4M). Actually,
the range (1G-4M, 1G) and (3G, 3G+4M) would never been involved in pmd
sharing.
After this patch, we will check that the vma span at least one PUD aligned
size and the start,end range overlap the aligned range of vma.
With above example, the aligned vma range is (1G, 3G), so if (start, end)
range is within (1G-4M, 1G), or within (3G, 3G+4M), then no adjustment to
both start and end. Otherwise, we will have chance to adjust start
downwards or end upwards without exceeding (vm_start, vm_end).
