Subject: mm/hugetlb: don't crash when allocating a folio if there are no resv
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2025 22:28:40 -0700
There are cases when we try to pin a folio but discover that it has not
been faulted-in. So, we try to allocate it in memfd_alloc_folio() but
there is a chance that we might encounter a fatal crash/failure
(VM_BUG_ON(!h->resv_huge_pages) in alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve()) if there
are no active reservations at that instant. This issue was reported by
syzbot:

Therefore, prevent the above crash by replacing the VM_BUG_ON() with
WARN_ON_ONCE() as there is no need to crash the system in this situation
and instead we could just warn and fail the allocation.
akpm: converting a BUG into WARN+recover is a good thing, but we still
have a bug.

Therefore, prevent the above crash by removing the VM_BUG_ON() as there is
no need to crash the system in this situation and instead we could just
fail the allocation request.
Furthermore, as described above, the specific situation where this happens
is when we try to pin memfd folios before they are faulted-in. Although,
this is a valid thing to do, it is not the regular or the common use-case.
Let us consider the following scenarios:
1) hugetlbfs_file_mmap()
memfd_alloc_folio()
hugetlb_fault()
2) memfd_alloc_folio()
hugetlbfs_file_mmap()
hugetlb_fault()
3) hugetlbfs_file_mmap()
hugetlb_fault()
alloc_hugetlb_folio()
3) is the most common use-case where first a memfd is allocated followed
by mmap(), user writes/updates and then the relevant folios are pinned
(memfd_pin_folios()). The BUG this patch is fixing occurs in 2) because
we try to pin the folios before hugetlbfs_file_mmap() is called. So, in
this situation we try to allocate the folios before pinning them but since
we did not make any reservations, resv_huge_pages would be 0, leading to
this issue.
