Subject: [072/151] mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in walk_page_range()

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@...jp.nec.com>

commit d33b9f45bd24a6391bc05e2b5a13c1b5787ca9c2 upstream.

Most callers of pmd_none_or_clear_bad() check whether the target page is
in a hugepage or not, but walk_page_range() do not check it.  So if we
read /proc/pid/pagemap for the hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage
memory is leaked as shown below.  This patch fixes it.

Details
=======
My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows:
 - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
 - read()/write() something on it,
 - call page-types with option -p (walk around the page tables),
 - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs

Without my patches
------------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:     1000
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ./leak_pagemap
[snip output]
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:      900
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ls /hugetlbfs/
$

100 hugepages are accounted as used while there is no file on hugetlbfs.

With my patches
---------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:     1000
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ./leak_pagemap
[snip output]
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:     1000
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ls /hugetlbfs
$

No memory leaks.
