Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 1/2] mm/hugetlb: fix surplus pages in dissolve_free_huge_page()
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 20:44:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930004404.2953402-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026092905-mystified-upstart-3f7b@gregkh>
From: Jinjiang Tu <tujinjiang@huawei.com>
[ Upstream commit cb402bbdabcaa5a765068c5b8673bbfc1c264242 ]
In dissolve_free_huge_page(), free huge pages are dissolved without
adjusting surplus count. However, free huge pages may be accounted as
surplus pages, and will lead to wrong surplus count.
I reproduce this issue on qemu. The steps are:
1) Node1 is memory-less at first. Hot-add memory to node1 by executing
the two commands in qemu monitor:
object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G
device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1,node=1
2) online one memory block of Node1 with:
echo online_movable > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memoryX/state
3) create 64 huge pages for node1
4) run a program to reserve (don't consume) all the huge pages
5) echo 0 > nr_huge_pages for node1. After this step, free huge pages in
Node1 are surplus.
6) create 80 huge pages for node0
7) offline memory of node1, The memory range to offline contains the free
surplus huge pages created in step3) ~ step5)
echo offline > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memoryX/state
8) kill the program in step 4)
The result:
Node0 Node1
total 80 0
free 80 0
surplus 0 61
To fix it, adjust surplus when destroying huge pages if the node has
surplus pages in dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio().
The result with this patch:
Node0 Node1
total 80 0
free 80 0
surplus 0 0

Backport notes for Linux 5.15:
- Use compound_head(), page_to_nid(), remove_hugetlb_page(), and
add_hugetlb_page() for surplus accounting. Preserve the existing vmemmap
restoration and raw hardware-poison handling.
- Keep max_huge_pages unchanged when removing or restoring a surplus
page, as fixed upstream by 267bede12d3b ("mm/hugetlb: keep max_huge_pages
when dissolving surplus folios"). This avoids corrupting or underflowing
the persistent pool target.
- Define available_huge_pages() and hstate_is_gigantic_no_runtime() as
local expression macros using the existing 5.15 operations. Reuse the
latter in the existing runtime-support checks. These prepare the
context and predicate needed for a clean cherry-pick of a363c62a653c
without adding functions or importing the folio conversion.
