Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: fix subpool accounting after cgroup charge failure
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:52:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427145247.84157-2-enderaoelyther@gmail.com> (raw)
alloc_hugetlb_folio() calls hugepage_subpool_get_pages() when map_chg
is set. For subpools with max_hpages, that increments used_hpages even
when the returned gbl_chg is positive.
If a later hugetlb cgroup charge fails, the cleanup currently calls
hugepage_subpool_put_pages() only for !gbl_chg. The gbl_chg > 0 path
therefore leaks one used_hpages charge per failure.
Always undo the subpool charge after a successful subpool get. Keep the
global reservation accounting under !gbl_chg, because only that path
consumed a reservation from the subpool.
