From 78c997a4be7d1ed3ff4c27f23d30a0185d39bcbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Chen, Kenneth W" Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 02:30:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] hugetlb: don't allow free hugetlb count fall below reserved count With strict page reservation, I think kernel should enforce number of free hugetlb page don't fall below reserved count. Currently it is possible in the sysctl path. Add proper check in sysctl to disallow that.
