The save/restore of nr_hugepages was added to the test itself by using the atexit() functionality. But it is broken as parent exits after creating child. Hence calling the atexit() function early. That's not it. The child exits after creating its child and so on. The parent cannot wait to get the termination status for its children as it'll keep on holding the resources until the new pkey allocation fails. It is impossible to wait for exits of all the grand and great grand children. Hence the restoring of nr_hugepages value from parent is wrong. Let's save/restore the nr_hugepages settings in the launch script instead of doing it in the test.

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 reStructuredText 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.
