mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool
During our testing with hugetlb subpool enabled, we observe that
hstate->resv_huge_pages may underflow into negative values. Root cause
analysis reveals a race condition in subpool reservation fallback handling
as follow:
hugetlb_reserve_pages()
/* Attempt subpool reservation */
gbl_reserve = hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, chg);
/* Global reservation may fail after subpool allocation */
if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0)
goto out_put_pages;
out_put_pages:
/* This incorrectly restores reservation to subpool */
hugepage_subpool_put_pages(spool, chg);
When hugetlb_acct_memory() fails after subpool allocation, the current
implementation over-commits subpool reservations by returning the full
'chg' value instead of the actual allocated 'gbl_reserve' amount. This
discrepancy propagates to global reservations during subsequent releases,
eventually causing resv_huge_pages underflow.
This problem can be trigger easily with the following steps:
1. reverse hugepage for hugeltb allocation
2. mount hugetlbfs with min_size to enable hugetlb subpool
3. alloc hugepages with two task(make sure the second will fail due to
insufficient amount of hugepages)
4. with for a few seconds and repeat step 3 which will make
hstate->resv_huge_pages to go below zero.
To fix this problem, return corrent amount of pages to subpool during the
fallback after hugepage_subpool_get_pages is called.
