Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/hugetlb: restore reservation on error in hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte() resubmission path
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 00:05:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519230503.121293-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
When the resubmission path in hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte() allocates a new
hugetlb folio via alloc_hugetlb_folio(), a VMA reservation is consumed.
If copy_user_large_folio() subsequently fails (e.g. -EHWPOISON when the
source page is hwpoisoned), folio_put() restores the global hugetlb pool
count through free_huge_folio(), but the per-VMA reservation map entry
is left marked consumed.
User-visible effect: on a UFFDIO_COPY into a private hugetlb VMA where
the resubmission path's copy fails, the reservation for that address is
leaked from the VMA's reserve map. A subsequent fault at the same
address takes the no-reservation path, and under hugetlb pool pressure
the task is SIGBUSed at an address it had previously reserved. One map
entry is leaked per occurrence.
Add the missing restore_reserve_on_error() call before folio_put(),
matching the first-attempt error path which already handles this
correctly.
Fixes: 1cb9dc4b475c ("mm: hwpoison: support recovery from HugePage copy-on-write faults")

v2:
- Add user-visible effects paragraph in changelog (per akpm,
required for Cc: stable).
- Correct Fixes: tag to 1cb9dc4b475c (per Muchun) -- the failing
arm only exists since copy_user_large_folio() became int-returning.
Andrew, please drop the v1 currently queued as 270157aef0d1 in
mm-unstable.
