commit 0db9d74ed884 ("hugetlb: disable region_add file_region coalescing") introduced issues with regards to locking: - Missing spin_unlock in hugetlb.c:region_add and hugetlb.c:region_cgh when returning after an error. - Missing spin lock in hugetlb.c:allocate_file_region_entries when returning after an error. The first two errors were spotted using the coccinelle static code analysis tool while focusing on the mini_lock.cocci script, whose goal is to find missing unlocks. make coccicheck mode=REPORT m=mm/hugetlb.c mm/hugetlb.c:514:3-9: preceding lock on line 487 mm/hugetlb.c:564:2-8: preceding lock on line 554 The third instance spotted by manual examination. In static long region_add(...) and static long region_cgh(...) , releasing the acquired lock when exiting via their error path was removed. This will cause these functions to return with a lock held if they do not succeed. This patch reintroduces the original error path making sure the lock is properly released on all exits. A a new function allocate_file_region_entries was also introduced that must be called with a lock held and returned with the lock held. However the lock is temporarily released during processing but will not be reacquired on error. This patch ensures that the lock will be reacquired in the error path also.
