Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: restore subpool used_hpages on alloc_hugetlb_folio error
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 21:29:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515202902.461539-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit a833a693a490 added a !gbl_chg guard around the
hugepage_subpool_put_pages() call in alloc_hugetlb_folio()'s
out_subpool_put path so a failed allocation wouldn't drive
h->resv_huge_pages negative. But hugepage_subpool_get_pages()
increments spool->used_hpages whenever max_hpages != -1, regardless
of whether the request was satisfied from subpool reserves or needs
global pages. When gbl_chg > 0 and a later step fails (cgroup
charge, dequeue, buddy alloc), used_hpages is never put back.
Each such failure leaks one count; eventually used_hpages reaches
max_hpages and the subpool refuses every further allocation even
though no pages are held.
Commit 1d3f9bb4c8af fixed the same defect in hugetlb_reserve_pages();
apply the equivalent restore here, guarded by spool and max_hpages.
Fixes: a833a693a490 ("mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool")
