Hi Mike,

Thank you for addressing this. The patch itself looks good to me, but
the reported issue (negative reserve count) doesn't reproduce in my trial
with v4.14-rc5, so could you share the exact procedure for this issue?

When error handler runs over a huge page, the reserve count is incremented
so I'm not sure why the reserve count goes negative. My operation is like below:

  $ sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=10
  $ grep HugePages_ /proc/meminfo
  HugePages_Total:      10
  HugePages_Free:       10
  HugePages_Rsvd:        0
  HugePages_Surp:        0
  $ ./test_alloc_generic -B hugetlb_file -N1 -L "mmap access memory_error_injection:error_type=madv_hard"  // allocate a 2MB file on hugetlbfs, then madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) on it.
  $ grep HugePages_ /proc/meminfo
  HugePages_Total:      10
  HugePages_Free:        9
  HugePages_Rsvd:        1  // reserve count is incremented
  HugePages_Surp:        0
  $ rm work/hugetlbfs/testfile
  $ grep HugePages_ /proc/meminfo
  HugePages_Total:      10
  HugePages_Free:        9
  HugePages_Rsvd:        0  // reserve count is gone
  HugePages_Surp:        0
  $ /src/linux-dev/tools/vm/page-types -b hwpoison -x // unpoison the huge page
  $ grep HugePages_ /proc/meminfo
  HugePages_Total:      10
  HugePages_Free:       10  // all huge pages are free (back to the beginning)
  HugePages_Rsvd:        0
  HugePages_Surp:        0

Thanks,
