mm/hugetlb: check gigantic_page_runtime_supported() in return_unused_surplus_pages()

Patch series "mm, hwpoison: enable 1GB hugepage support", v7.


This patch (of 8):

I found a weird state of 1GB hugepage pool, caused by the following
procedure:

  - run a process reserving all free 1GB hugepages,
  - shrink free 1GB hugepage pool to zero (i.e. writing 0 to
    /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages), then
  - kill the reserving process.

, then all the hugepages are free *and* surplus at the same time.

  $ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
  3
  $ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages
  3
  $ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/resv_hugepages
  0
  $ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/surplus_hugepages
  3

This state is resolved by reserving and allocating the pages then freeing
them again, so this seems not to result in serious problem.  But it's a
little surprising (shrinking pool suddenly fails).

This behavior is caused by hstate_is_gigantic() check in
return_unused_surplus_pages().  This was introduced so long ago in 2008 by
commit aa888a74977a ("hugetlb: support larger than MAX_ORDER"), and at
that time the gigantic pages were not supposed to be allocated/freed at
run-time.  Now kernel can support runtime allocation/free, so let's check
gigantic_page_runtime_supported() together.
