Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm/hugetlb: fix huge page reservation leak in private mapping error paths
Error paths in hugetlb_cow() and hugetlb_no_page() may free a newly
allocated huge page. If a reservation was associated with the huge
page, alloc_huge_page() consumed the reservation while allocating.
When the newly allocated page is freed in free_huge_page(), it will
increment the global reservation count. However, the reservation entry
in the reserve map will remain. This is not an issue for shared
mappings as the entry in the reserve map indicates a reservation exists.
But, an entry in a private mapping reserve map indicates the reservation
was consumed and no longer exists. This results in an inconsistency
between the reserve map and the global reservation count. This 'leaks'
a reserved huge page.
Create a new routine restore_reserve_on_error() to restore the reserve
entry in these specific error paths. This routine makes use of a new
function vma_add_reservation() which will add a reserve entry for a
specific address/page.
In general, these error paths were rarely (if ever) taken on most
architectures. However, powerpc contained arch specific code that
that resulted in an extra fault and execution of these error paths
on all private mappings.
