From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 73bdf65ea74857d7fb2ec3067a3cec0e261b1462 upstream. 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.
