Good point.. so I obviously wanted to skip reservation check but successfully
got cheated by the inverted name. :)
Though I do checked the reservation, so it seems not extremely important - when
we fork and copy the vma, we have already dropped the vma resv map:
if (is_vm_hugetlb_page(tmp))
reset_vma_resv_huge_pages(tmp);
Then in alloc_huge_page() we checked vma_resv_map() mostly everywhere we'd
check avoid_reserve too (either in vma_needs_reservation, or calculating
deferred_reserve). It seems to be mostly useful when vma_resv_map() existed.
But I completely agree I should pass in "1" here in v2.
Thanks,
