Hugh Dickins 4e6a510a74 [PATCH] mm: hugepage accounting fix
2.6.15's hugepage faulting introduced huge_pages_needed accounting into
hugetlbfs: to count how many pages are already in cache, for spot check on
how far a new mapping may be allowed to extend the file.  But it's muddled:
each hugepage found covers HPAGE_SIZE, not PAGE_SIZE.  Once pages were
already in cache, it would overshoot, wrap its hugepages count backwards,
and so fail a harmless repeat mapping with -ENOMEM.  Fixes the problem
found by Don Dupuis.
