Subject: [PATCH] mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing
 h->resv_huge_pages
Message-ID: <20221017202505.0e6a4fcd@imladris.surriel.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

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.
