Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Gerald Schaefer <> | Subject | [RFC v2 PATCH 3/7] thp: make MADV_HUGEPAGE check for mm->def_flags | Date | Wed, 29 Aug 2012 17:33:00 +0200 |
| |
This adds a check to hugepage_madvise(), to refuse MADV_HUGEPAGE if VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set in mm->def_flags. On s390, the VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag will be set in mm->def_flags for kvm processes, to prevent any future thp mappings. In order to also prevent MADV_HUGEPAGE on such an mm, hugepage_madvise() should check mm->def_flags.
