Subject: Re: [PATCH 10/15] mm/hugetlb: count again if the reserve map shrank
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 20:16:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-189910@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028-fixes_hugetlb-v1-10-a0a033db180f@kernel.org>
> hugetlb_reserve_pages() asks region_chg() how many pages of the range are
> missing in the reserve map, charges the cgroup, the subpool and the pool
> for that many, and then lets region_add() fill the gaps.
>
> It copes with region_add() adding less, because a concurrent fault added
> an entry in the meantime; however, it does not expect it to add more.
>
> Since restore_reserve_on_error() can delete the entry of an allocation
> that failed later on, entries also disappear without the inode lock that
> mmap() holds. For a previously unreserved page, UFFDIO_COPY can do this
> when the source is not resident: it allocates a folio, which adds the
> entry, fails to copy with page faults disabled, and takes both back.
> memfd_alloc_folio() does it when it has made a reservation and gets no
> folio it may pin.
