migrate: hugetlb: check for hugetlb shared PMD in node migration
[ Upstream commit 73bdf65ea74857d7fb2ec3067a3cec0e261b1462 ]
migrate_pages/mempolicy semantics state that CAP_SYS_NICE is required to
move pages shared with another process to a different node. page_mapcount
> 1 is being used to determine if a hugetlb page is shared. However, a
hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes via
a shared PMD. As a result, hugetlb pages shared by multiple processes and
mapped with a shared PMD can be moved by a process without CAP_SYS_NICE.
To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found
consider the page shared.
