------------------------------------------------------ From: Jeongjun Park aha310510@gmail.com Subject: mm/hugetlb: add missing hugetlb_lock in __unmap_hugepage_range() Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2025 03:21:15 +0900

When restoring a reservation for an anonymous page, we need to check to freeing a surplus. However, __unmap_hugepage_range() causes data race because it reads h->surplus_huge_pages without the protection of hugetlb_lock.

And adjust_reservation is a boolean variable that indicates whether reservations for anonymous pages in each folio should be restored. Therefore, it should be initialized to false for each round of the loop. However, this variable is not initialized to false except when defining the current adjust_reservation variable.

This means that once adjust_reservation is set to true even once within the loop, reservations for anonymous pages will be restored unconditionally in all subsequent rounds, regardless of the folio's state.

To fix this, we need to add the missing hugetlb_lock, unlock the page_table_lock earlier so that we don't lock the hugetlb_lock inside the page_table_lock lock, and initialize adjust_reservation to false on each round within the loop.
