Dan Rue has noticed that libhugetlbfs test suite fails counter test:
# mount_point="/mnt/hugetlb/"
# echo 200 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
# mkdir -p "${mount_point}"
# mount -t hugetlbfs hugetlbfs "${mount_point}"
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/obj64
# /root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/tests/obj64/counters
Starting testcase "/root/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs-2.20/tests/obj64/counters", pid 3319

Clean...
FAIL Line 326: Bad HugePages_Total: expected 0, actual 1
The bug was bisected to 0c397daea1 ("mm, hugetlb: further simplify
hugetlb allocation API").
The reason is that alloc_surplus_huge_page() misaccounts per node
surplus pages. We should increase surplus_huge_pages_node rather than
nr_huge_pages_node which is already handled by alloc_fresh_huge_page.

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.
