hugetlbfs: fix i_blocks accounting
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As reported in Red Hat bz #509671, i_blocks for files on hugetlbfs get
accounting wrong when doing something like:

   $ > foo
   $ date  > foo
   date: write error: Invalid argument
   $ /usr/bin/stat foo
     File: `foo'
     Size: 0          Blocks: 18446744073709547520 IO Block: 2097152 regular
...

This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing
blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount.
If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above.

This is a regression from commit a551643
("hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size")

which did:

-	inode->i_blocks -= BLOCKS_PER_HUGEPAGE * freed;
+	inode->i_blocks -= blocks_per_huge_page(h);

so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.
