The number of node specific huge pages can be set via a file such as: /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages When a node specific value is specified, the global number of huge pages must also be adjusted. This adjustment is calculated as the specified node specific value + (global value - current node value). If the node specific value provided by the user is large enough, this calculation could overflow an unsigned long leading to a smaller than expected number of huge pages. To fix, check the calculation for overflow. If overflow is detected, use ULONG_MAX as the requested value. This is inline with the user request to allocate as many huge pages as possible. It was also noticed that the above calculation was done outside the hugetlb_lock. Therefore, the values could be inconsistent and result in underflow. To fix, the calculation is moved within the routine set_max_huge_pages() where the lock is held. In addition, the code in __nr_hugepages_store_common() which tries to handle the case of not being able to allocate a node mask would likely result in incorrect behavior. Luckily, it is very unlikely we will ever take this path. If we do, simply return ENOMEM.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
