The quilt patch titled Subject: mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mmhugetlb-take-hugetlb_lock-before-decrementing-h-resv_huge_pages.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Rik van Riel riel@surriel.com Subject: mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 20:25:05 -0400
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.
