Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb cgroup rsvd charge/uncharge mismatch
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 07:00:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724110052.3984407-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072039-endowment-unfazed-086d@gregkh>
From: Deepanshu Kartikey <kartikey406@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 15807d0ddde37407af72859426b654f3d1972b00 ]
In alloc_hugetlb_folio(), a single h_cg pointer is used for both the rsvd
and non-rsvd hugetlb cgroup charges. When map_chg is set,
hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup_rsvd() stores the charged cgroup in h_cg, but
the immediately following hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup() overwrites h_cg
with the non-rsvd cgroup pointer.
As a result, hugetlb_cgroup_commit_charge_rsvd() stores the wrong
(non-rsvd) cgroup pointer into the folio's rsvd slot.
When the folio is later freed, free_huge_folio() unconditionally calls
both hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_folio() and
hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_folio_rsvd(). The rsvd uncharge reads back the
wrong cgroup from the folio and decrements a counter that was never
charged for that cgroup, causing a page_counter underflow:
page_counter underflow: -512 nr_pages=512
WARNING: mm/page_counter.c:61 at page_counter_cancel
Fix this by introducing a separate h_cg_rsvd pointer exclusively for the
rsvd charge path, keeping the rsvd and non-rsvd charges fully independent
through their charge, commit, and error uncharge paths.
