hugetlb: fix get_policy for stacked shared memory files
Here's another breakage as a result of shared memory stacked files :( The NUMA policy for a VMA is determined by checking the following (in the order given): 1) vma->vm_ops->get_policy() (if defined) 2) vma->vm_policy (if defined) 3) task->mempolicy (if defined) 4) Fall back to default_policy By switching to stacked files for shared memory, get_policy() is now always set to shm_get_policy which is a wrapper function. This causes us to stop at step 1, which yields NULL for hugetlb instead of task->mempolicy which was the previous (and correct) result. This patch modifies the shm_get_policy() wrapper to maintain steps 1-3 for the wrapped vm_ops. (akpm: the refcounting of mempolicies is busted and this patch does nothing to improve it) Signed-off-by: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: William Irwin <bill.irwin@oracle.com> Cc: dean gaudet <dean@arctic.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
