Subject: mm: hugetlb: drop refcount before freeing on memcg charge failure
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 01:22:57 -0700

When mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb(folio, gfp) returns -ENOMEM, the folio has
its refcount set to 1 via folio_ref_unfreeze(folio, 1).

The error path calls free_huge_folio(folio) directly, which expects a
refcount of 0.  Hence, VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(folio_ref_count(folio), folio) is
triggered.

Even with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM disabled, returning a folio with refcount 1 to
the freelist can corrupt allocator state later.

Use folio_put(folio) instead of free_huge_folio(folio) to properly drop
the reference before freeing it.
