The patch titled hugetlbfs: fix i_blocks accounting has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hugetlbfs-fix-i_blocks-accounting.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: hugetlbfs: fix i_blocks accounting From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxxx> As reported in Red Hat bz #509671, i_blocks for files on hugetlbfs get accounting wrong when doing something like: $ > foo $ date > foo date: write error: Invalid argument $ /usr/bin/stat foo File: `foo' Size: 0 Blocks: 18446744073709547520 IO Block: 2097152 regular ... This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount. If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above. This is a regression from commit a5516438959d90b071ff0a484ce4f3f523dc3152 ("hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size") which did: - inode->i_blocks -= BLOCKS_PER_HUGEPAGE * freed; + inode->i_blocks -= blocks_per_huge_page(h); so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.
