Actually, in this case I believe the bug is in hugetlb_reserve_pages. It calls region_chg(), but gets an error due to the injected kmalloc failure. At this point, the resv_map->adds_in_progress is 0 as it should be. However, the error path for hugetlb_reserve_pages calls region_abort() which will unconditionally decrement adds_in_progress. So, adds_in_progress goes negative and we eventually BUG. :( I'll look for other misuses of region_chg()/region_add()/region_abort() and put together a patch. Dmitry, is there some way to run the fuzzer with kmalloc failure injection and target the hugetlbfs code? I'm suspect we could flush out other bugs. I noticed one other you discovered, and will look at that next. -- Mike Kravetz -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
