[PATCH] hugetlb: fix prio_tree unit
hugetlb_vmtruncate_list was misconverted to prio_tree: its prio_tree is in units of PAGE_SIZE (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE) like any other, not HPAGE_SIZE (whereas its radix_tree is kept in units of HPAGE_SIZE, otherwise slots would be absurdly sparse). At first I thought the error benign, just calling __unmap_hugepage_range on more vmas than necessary; but on 32-bit machines, when the prio_tree is searched correctly, it happens to ensure the v_offset calculation won't overflow. As it stood, when truncating at or beyond 4GB, it was liable to discard pages COWed from lower offsets; or even to clear pmd entries of preceding vmas, triggering exit_mmap's BUG_ON(nr_ptes).
