My apologies. The test scenario described above does not trigger the
page leak issue fixed with this patch. It actually triggers another
undiagnosed and unfixed issue with huge page migration that I will
be working on. Sigh!
The leak with migration of huge pages in explicitly mounted filesystem
is still fixed by this patch. However, the commit message should be
changed to more accurately reflect testing and observed outcomes. The
patch with only commit message changes is below:

Subject: [PATCH] huegtlbfs: fix races and page leaks during migration
hugetlb pages should only be migrated if they are 'active'. The routines
set/clear_page_huge_active() modify the active state of hugetlb pages.
When a new hugetlb page is allocated at fault time, set_page_huge_active
is called before the page is locked. Therefore, another thread could
race and migrate the page while it is being added to page table by the
fault code. This race is somewhat hard to trigger, but can be seen by
strategically adding udelay to simulate worst case scheduling behavior.
Depending on 'how' the code races, various BUG()s could be triggered.
To address this issue, simply delay the set_page_huge_active call until
after the page is successfully added to the page table.
Hugetlb pages can also be leaked at migration time if the pages are
associated with a file in an explicitly mounted hugetlbfs filesystem.
For example, consider a two node system with 4GB worth of huge pages
available. A program mmaps a 2G file in a hugetlbfs filesystem. It
then migrates the pages associated with the file from one node to
another. When the program exits, huge page counts are as follows:
node0
1024 free_hugepages
1024 nr_hugepages
node1
0 free_hugepages
1024 nr_hugepages
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
nodev 4.0G 2.0G 2.0G 50% /var/opt/hugepool
That is as expected. 2G of huge pages are taken from the free_hugepages
counts, and 2G is the size of the file in the explicitly mounted filesystem.
If the file is then removed, the counts become:
node0
1024 free_hugepages
1024 nr_hugepages
node1
1024 free_hugepages
1024 nr_hugepages
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
nodev 4.0G 2.0G 2.0G 50% /var/opt/hugepool
Note that the filesystem still shows 2G of pages used, while there
actually are no huge pages in use. The only way to 'fix' the
filesystem accounting is to unmount the filesystem
If a hugetlb page is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem,
this information in contained in the page_private field. At migration
time, this information is not preserved. To fix, simply transfer
page_private from old to new page at migration time if necessary.
