Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: fix resv_huge_pages double decrement in memfd error path
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 10:10:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825021013.25672-1-hongfu.li@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Hongfu Li <lihongfu@kylinos.cn>
alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve() decrements h->resv_huge_pages when
dequeuing a folio, but unlike the use_global_reservation handling in
hugetlb_alloc_folio(), it does not set HPageRestoreReserve on the folio.
Its sole caller memfd_alloc_folio() pre-allocates a reservation via
hugetlb_reserve_pages() before allocating. When hugetlb_add_to_page_cache()
fails, folio_put() drops the folio without HPageRestoreReserve set, so
free_huge_folio() does not restore the reservation. The subsequent
hugetlb_unreserve_pages() on the err_unresv path decrements the counter
a second time, leaving resv_huge_pages off by one for every failed
allocation.
Set HPageRestoreReserve when consuming the reservation in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve(). On the error path, free_huge_folio() then
restores the reservation before hugetlb_unreserve_pages() releases it.
The success path is unaffected, as hugetlb_add_to_page_cache() clears
the flag once the folio is added to the page cache.
