[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: hugetlb: add per-hstate mutex to synchronize user adjustments
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

Subject: hugetlb: add per-hstate mutex to synchronize user adjustments

The helper routine hstate_next_node_to_alloc accesses and modifies the
hstate variable next_nid_to_alloc.  The helper is used by the routines
alloc_pool_huge_page and adjust_pool_surplus.  adjust_pool_surplus is
called with hugetlb_lock held.  However, alloc_pool_huge_page can not be
called with the hugetlb lock held as it will call the page allocator.  Two
instances of alloc_pool_huge_page could be run in parallel or
alloc_pool_huge_page could run in parallel with adjust_pool_surplus which
may result in the variable next_nid_to_alloc becoming invalid for the
caller and pages being allocated on the wrong node.

Both alloc_pool_huge_page and adjust_pool_surplus are only called from the
routine set_max_huge_pages after boot.  set_max_huge_pages is only called
as the reusult of a user writing to the proc/sysfs nr_hugepages, or
nr_hugepages_mempolicy file to adjust the number of hugetlb pages.

It makes little sense to allow multiple adjustment to the number of
hugetlb pages in parallel.  Add a mutex to the hstate and use it to only
allow one hugetlb page adjustment at a time.  This will synchronize
modifications to the next_nid_to_alloc variable.
