From: Mina Almasry <almasrymina@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: hugetlb_cgroup: fix illegal access to memory This appears to be a mistake in commit faced7e0806cf ("mm: hugetlb controller for cgroups v2"). Essentially that commit does a hugetlb_cgroup_from_counter assuming that page_counter_try_charge has initialized counter, but if page_counter_try_charge has failed then it seems it does not initialize counter, so hugetlb_cgroup_from_counter(counter) ends up pointing to random memory, causing kasan to complain. Solution, simply use h_cg, instead of hugetlb_cgroup_from_counter(counter), since that is a reference to the hugetlb_cgroup anyway. After this change kasan ceases to complain.
