Calling madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) on a hugetlbfs page will result in bad
(negative) reserved huge page counts. This may not happen immediately,
but may happen later when the underlying file is removed or filesystem
unmounted. For example:
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
ShmemHugePages: 0 kB
HugePages_Total: 1
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 18446744073709551615
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
In routine hugetlbfs_error_remove_page(), hugetlb_fix_reserve_counts is
called after remove_huge_page. hugetlb_fix_reserve_counts is designed
to only be called/used only if a failure is returned from
hugetlb_unreserve_pages. Therefore, call hugetlb_unreserve_pages as
required and only call hugetlb_fix_reserve_counts in the unlikely event
that hugetlb_unreserve_pages returns an error.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
