[ Upstream commit73bdf65ea7] migrate_pages/mempolicy semantics state that CAP_SYS_NICE is required to move pages shared with another process to a different node. page_mapcount > 1 is being used to determine if a hugetlb page is shared. However, a hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes via a shared PMD. As a result, hugetlb pages shared by multiple processes and mapped with a shared PMD can be moved by a process without CAP_SYS_NICE. To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found consider the page shared.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
