SubjectRe: [PATCH] [5/18] Expand the hugetlbfs sysctls to handle arrays for all hstates
On (17/03/08 02:58), Andi Kleen didst pronounce:

I cannot imagine why either of those would be per-pool anyway.
Potentially shm_group could become a per-mount value which is both
outside the scope of this patchset and not per-pool so unsuitable for
hstate.

Any particular reason for moving them?

Also, offhand it's not super-clear why max_huge_pages is not part of
hstate as we only expect one hstate per pagesize anyway.

hmm ok, it looks a little weird to be working out h - hstates multiple times
in a loop when it is invariant but functionally, it's fine.

This looks like we are assuming there is only ever one other
parsed_hstate. For the purposes of what you aim to achieve in this set,
it's not important but a comment over parsed_hstate about this
assumption is probably necessary.

What is updating err to anything else in set_max_huge_pages()?

hmm, this is saying when I write 10 to nr_hugepages, I am asking for 10
2MB pages and 10 1GB pages potentially. Is that what you want?

I'm failing to see how the error handling is improved when
set_max_huge_pages() is not updating err. Maybe it happens in another
patch.

Similar to the other sysctl here, the overcommit value is being set for
all the huge page sizes.
