Yes, thank you!
That would be the correct check and also much simpler.  Something like,

	unsigned long ovfl_mask;

	ovfl_mask = (1UL << (PAGE_SHIFT + 1)) - 1;
	ovfl_mask <<= ((sizeof(unsigned long) * BITS_PER_BYTE) -
		      (PAGE_SHIFT + 1));
	if (vma->vm_pgoff & ovfl_mask)
		return -EINVAL;

If region_chg returns a value < 0, this indicates an error and adds_in_progress
should not be incremented.  In the case of this bug, region_chg was passed
values where f > t.  Of course, this should never happen.  But, because it
assumed f <= t, it returned a negative count needed huge page reservations.
The calling code interpreted the negative value as an error and a subsequent
region_add or region_abort.

I am not opposed to adding the suggested "if (f > t)".  However, the
region tracking routines are simple helpers only used by the hugetlbfs
code and the assumption is that they are being called correctly.  As
such, I would prefer to leave off the check.  But, this is the second
time they have been called incorrectly due to insufficient argument
checking.  If we do add this to region_chg, I would also add the check
to all region_* routines for consistency.

I will send out a V2 of this patch tomorrow with the corrected overflow
checking and possibly checks added to the region_* routines.
