Subject: [PATCH v3 05/13] mm: hugetlb: Fix subpool usage leak on allocation failure
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:25:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720-hugetlb-alloc-failure-fixes-v3-5-7d2a169aa9ee@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720-hugetlb-alloc-failure-fixes-v3-0-7d2a169aa9ee@google.com>
From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>
When alloc_hugetlb_folio() fails early (e.g. buddy allocation failure or
hugetlb cgroup charging failure) and gbl_chg == 1 (meaning a reservation
was not used, but a global page was allocated instead), the subpool page
acquired via hugepage_subpool_get_pages() must still be returned.
Currently, the error path out_subpool_put: only calls
hugepage_subpool_put_pages() if !gbl_chg is true. If gbl_chg is 1, it
skips it, permanently leaking the subpool's used_hpages counter.
With the earlier patch to always track used_hpages in the subpool, always
call hugepage_subpool_put_pages() if map_chg is true to consistently
restore the page to the subpool. Only call hugetlb_acct_memory() to adjust
global reservations if gbl_chg == 0 since gbl_chg == 0 indicates a
subpool (and global) reservation was used.
Fixes: a833a693a490e ("mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool")
