Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm: hugetlb: Move memcg charge earlier to prevent reservation leak
Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2026 13:46:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707-hugetlb-alloc-failure-fixes-v1-4-5bbd3a4b836d@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707-hugetlb-alloc-failure-fixes-v1-0-5bbd3a4b836d@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

When mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails, alloc_hugetlb_folio() clears the
charges and frees the folio. The reservation committed via
vma_commit_reservation() was not undone, leaving the reservation map in an
inconsistent state, causing resv_huge_pages to leak when the process
exited.

Fix this by moving the mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() call earlier in
alloc_hugetlb_folio(), before vma_commit_reservation() is called.

If the charge fails now, the reservation is not yet committed. Jump to
out_subpool_put, which will then call vma_end_reservation() to abort the
reservation and keep the reservation map and resv_huge_pages counter
consistent.
