Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] mm/hugetlb_cma: round up per_node before logging it
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 09:06:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514130635.228150-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026051241-flakily-uniquely-50ca@gregkh>

[ Upstream commit 8f5ce56b76303c55b78a87af996e2e0f8535f979 ]

When the user requests a total hugetlb CMA size without per-node
specification, hugetlb_cma_reserve() computes per_node from
hugetlb_cma_size and the number of nodes that have memory

        per_node = DIV_ROUND_UP(hugetlb_cma_size,
                                nodes_weight(hugetlb_bootmem_nodes));

The reservation loop later computes

        size = round_up(min(per_node, hugetlb_cma_size - reserved),
                          PAGE_SIZE << order);

So the actually reserved per_node size is multiple of (PAGE_SIZE <<
order), but the logged per_node is not rounded up, so it may be smaller
than the actual reserved size.

For example, as the existing comment describes, if a 3 GB area is
requested on a machine with 4 NUMA nodes that have memory, 1 GB is
allocated on the first three nodes, but the printed log is

        hugetlb_cma: reserve 3072 MiB, up to 768 MiB per node

Round per_node up to (PAGE_SIZE << order) before logging so that the
printed log always matches the actual reserved size.  No functional change
to the actual reservation size, as the following case analysis shows

1. remaining (hugetlb_cma_size - reserved) >= rounded per_node
 - AS-IS: min() picks unrounded per_node;
    round_up() returns rounded per_node
 - TO-BE: min() picks rounded per_node;
    round_up() returns rounded per_node (no-op)
2. remaining < unrounded per_node
 - AS-IS: min() picks remaining;
    round_up() returns round_up(remaining)
 - TO-BE: min() picks remaining;
    round_up() returns round_up(remaining)
3. unrounded per_node <= remaining < rounded per_node
 - AS-IS: min() picks unrounded per_node;
    round_up() returns rounded per_node
 - TO-BE: min() picks remaining;
    round_up() returns round_up(remaining) equals rounded per_node
