Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: fix subpool minimum reservation rollback
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 21:20:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907132055.26696-1-zhoujinmeng@bytedance.com> (raw)

When a reservation request is partially covered by a subpool minimum and
the remaining global reservation fails, the error path first calls
hugepage_subpool_put_pages() for the subpool-backed portion. It removes the
failed global portion from used_hpages only afterwards.

hugepage_subpool_put_pages() uses used_hpages to decide whether rsv_hpages
should be restored. Since used_hpages still includes the global portion, it
can remain at or above min_hpages and prevent that restoration. It then
reports the subpool reservation as releasable, causing
hugetlb_acct_memory() to incorrectly decrement h->resv_huge_pages.

This was reproduced with four 2 MB huge pages and a hugetlbfs mount with
size=10M,min_size=8M. After a successful three-page reservation, a two-page
reservation which needed one subpool page and one global page failed with
-ENOMEM. HugePages_Rsvd incorrectly dropped from four to three even though
the subpool minimum was still four pages.

Roll back the failed global portion from used_hpages first, so that
hugepage_subpool_put_pages() evaluates the minimum reservation against the
current usage and returns the correct global adjustment.
