From 5ab3ee7b1cd5c91eb2272764f9d7d1fe4749681e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ken Chen Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:44:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix hugetlb page allocation leak dequeue_huge_page() has a serious memory leak upon hugetlb page allocation. The for loop continues on allocating hugetlb pages out of all allowable zone, where this function is supposedly only dequeue one and only one pages. Fixed it by breaking out of the for loop once a hugetlb page is found.
