mainlining shenanigans

Patch series "hugetlb: Fix some incorrect behavior", v3. This series fix three bugs of hugetlb: 1) Invalid use of nr_online_nodes; 2) Inconsistency between 1G hugepage and 2M hugepage; 3) Useless information in dmesg. This patch (of 4): Certain systems are designed to have sparse/discontiguous nodes. In this case, nr_online_nodes can not be used to walk through numa node. Also, a valid node may be greater than nr_online_nodes. However, in hugetlb, it is assumed that nodes are contiguous. For sparse/discontiguous nodes, the current code may treat a valid node as invalid, and will fail to allocate all hugepages on a valid node that "nid >= nr_online_nodes". As David suggested: if (tmp >= nr_online_nodes) goto invalid; Just imagine node 0 and node 2 are online, and node 1 is offline. Assuming that "node < 2" is valid is wrong. Recheck all the places that use nr_online_nodes, and repair them one by one.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
