Subject[PATCH v3] mm/hugetlb: Fix unsigned overflow in __nr_hugepages_store_common()
Date
User can change a node specific hugetlb count. i.e.
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB
the calculated value of count is a total number of huge pages. It could
be overflow when a user entering a crazy high value. If so, the total
number of huge pages could be a small value which is not user expect.
We can simply fix it by setting count to ULONG_MAX, then it goes on. This
may be more in line with user's intention of allocating as many huge pages
as possible.
