I think supporting the mempolicy of MPOL_BIND case is a good idea.
I am wondering what about the other mempolicy cases, e.g MPOL_INTERLEAVE,
MPOL_PREFERRED. Asking these because we already have similar handling in
sysfs, proc nr_hugepages_mempolicy writting. Please see
__nr_hugepages_store_common() for detail.

Yeah, I know the nr_hugepages_mempolicy. But this new code will
help produce a quick failure as described in the commit message
instead of waiting until the page fault routine(and receive a SIGBUG
signal).

There is a high level difference in the function of this code and the code
called by the sysfs and proc interfaces. This patch is dealing with reserving
huge pages in the pool for later use. The sysfs and proc interfaces are
allocating huge pages to be added to the pool.

Using mempolicy to decide how to allocate huge pages is pretty straight
forward. Using mempolicy to reserve pages is almost impossible to get
correct. The comment at the beginning of hugetlb_acct_memory() and modified
by this patch summarizes the issues.

IMO, at this time it makes little sense to perform checks for more than
MPOL_BIND at reservation time. If we ever take on the monumental task of
supporting mempolicy directed per-node reservations throughout the life of
a process, support for other policies will need to be taken into account.

I haven't figured out the difficulty of using mempolicy very clearly, will
read more codes and digest and understand your words. Thanks a lot for
these details.
