From 15568299b7d9988063afce60731df605ab236e2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Kravetz Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:31:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: prevent filesystem stacking of hugetlbfs syzbot found issues with having hugetlbfs on a union/overlay as reported in [1]. Due to the limitations (no write) and special functionality of hugetlbfs, it does not work well in filesystem stacking. There are no know use cases for hugetlbfs stacking. Rather than making modifications to get hugetlbfs working in such environments, simply prevent stacking.
