Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm/hugepages: Fix race between hugetlbfs umount and quota
update.
Discussion was titled: Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs quota handling
This patch fixes a race between the umount of a hugetlbfs filesystem, and quota
updates in that filesystem, which can result in the update of the filesystem
quota record, after the record structure has been freed.
Rather than an address-space struct pointer, it puts a hugetlbfs_sb_info struct
pointer into page_private of the page struct. A reference count and an active
bit are added to the hugetlbfs_sb_info struct; the reference count is increased
by hugetlb_get_quota and decreased by hugetlb_put_quota. When hugetlbfs is
unmounted, it frees the hugetlbfs_sb_info struct, but only if the reference
count is zero, otherwise it clears the active bit. The last hugetlb_put_quota
then frees the hugetlbfs_sb_info struct.
