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.
