------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Kravetz mike.kravetz@oracle.com Subject: migrate: hugetlb: check for hugetlb shared PMD in node migration Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:27:21 -0800
migrate_pages/mempolicy semantics state that CAP_SYS_NICE is required to move pages shared with another process to a different node. page_mapcount
1 is being used to determine if a hugetlb page is shared. However, a
hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes via a shared PMD. As a result, hugetlb pages shared by multiple processes and mapped with a shared PMD can be moved by a process without CAP_SYS_NICE.
To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found consider the page shared.
