From f550d2286f9c1fc308ce9fc678ba67b167d344c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel riel@surriel.com Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2022 13:28:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages
commit 12df140f0bdfae5dcfc81800970dd7f6f632e00c upstream.
The h->*_huge_pages counters are protected by the hugetlb_lock, but alloc_huge_page has a corner case where it can decrement the counter outside of the lock.
This could lead to a corrupted value of h->resv_huge_pages, which we have observed on our systems.
Take the hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages to avoid a potential race.
