Initial Post (Thu, 18 Aug 2005)

Basic overcommit checking for hugetlb_file_map() based on an implementation
used with demand faulting in SLES9.

Since demand faulting can't guarantee the availability of pages at mmap time,
this patch implements a basic sanity check to ensure that the number of huge
pages required to satisfy the mmap are currently available.  Despite the
obvious race, I think it is a good start on doing proper accounting.  I'd like
to work towards an accounting system that mimics the semantics of normal pages
(especially for the MAP_PRIVATE/COW case).  That work is underway and builds on
what this patch starts.

Huge page shared memory segments are simpler and still maintain their commit on
shmget semantics.
