Subject: hugetlbfs: stop setting VM_DONTDUMP in initializing vma(VM_HUGETLB)
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a2fce9143057f4eb7675a21cca1b6beabe585c8b upstream.
Currently we fail to include any data on hugepages into coredump,
because VM_DONTDUMP is set on hugetlbfs's vma. This behavior was
recently introduced by commit 314e51b9851b ("mm: kill vma flag
VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter").
This looks to me a serious regression, so let's fix it.
