    hugetlb, mempolicy: fix the mbind hugetlb migration · ebd63723
    Michal Hocko authored
    do_mbind migration code relies on alloc_huge_page_noerr for hugetlb
    pages.  alloc_huge_page_noerr uses alloc_huge_page which is a highlevel
    allocation function which has to take care of reserves, overcommit or
    hugetlb cgroup accounting.  None of that is really required for the page
    migration because the new page is only temporal and either will replace
    the original page or it will be dropped.  This is essentially as for
    other migration call paths and there shouldn't be any reason to handle
    mbind in a special way.
    
    The current implementation is even suboptimal because the migration
    might fail just because the hugetlb cgroup limit is reached, or the
    overcommit is saturated.
    
    Fix this by making mbind like other hugetlb migration paths.  Add a new
    migration helper alloc_huge_page_vma as a wrapper around
    alloc_huge_page_nodemask with additional mempolicy handling.
    
    alloc_huge_page_noerr has no more users and it can go.
