has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     hugetlb-fix-memory-leak-associated-with-vma_lock-structure.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: hugetlb: fix memory leak associated with vma_lock structure
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 13:19:57 -0700

The hugetlb vma_lock structure hangs off the vm_private_data pointer of
sharable hugetlb vmas.  The structure is vma specific and can not be
shared between vmas.  At fork and various other times, vmas are duplicated
via vm_area_dup().  When this happens, the pointer in the newly created
vma must be cleared and the structure reallocated.  Two hugetlb specific
routines deal with this hugetlb_dup_vma_private and hugetlb_vm_op_open. 
Both routines are called for newly created vmas.  hugetlb_dup_vma_private
would always clear the pointer and hugetlb_vm_op_open would allocate the
new vms_lock structure.  This did not work in the case of this calling
sequence pointed out in [1].

  move_vma
    copy_vma
      new_vma = vm_area_dup(vma);
      new_vma->vm_ops->open(new_vma); --> new_vma has its own vma lock.
    is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)
      clear_vma_resv_huge_pages
        hugetlb_dup_vma_private --> vma->vm_private_data is set to NULL

When clearing hugetlb_dup_vma_private we actually leak the associated
vma_lock structure.

The vma_lock structure contains a pointer to the associated vma.  This
information can be used in hugetlb_dup_vma_private and hugetlb_vm_op_open
to ensure we only clear the vm_private_data of newly created (copied)
vmas.  In such cases, the vma->vma_lock->vma field will not point to the
vma.

Update hugetlb_dup_vma_private and hugetlb_vm_op_open to not clear
vm_private_data if vma->vma_lock->vma == vma.  Also, log a warning if
hugetlb_vm_op_open ever encounters the case where vma_lock has already
been correctly allocated for the vma.
