The patch titled Subject: mm/hugetlb: handle races in alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlb-handle-races-in-alloc_huge_page-and-hugetlb_reserve_pages.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/hugetlb: handle races in alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages alloc_huge_page and hugetlb_reserve_pages use region_chg to calculate the number of pages which will be added to the reserve map. Subpool and global reserve counts are adjusted based on the output of region_chg. Before the pages are actually added to the reserve map, these routines could race and add fewer pages than expected. If this happens, the subpool and global reserve counts are not correct. Compare the number of pages actually added (region_add) to those expected to added (region_chg). If fewer pages are actually added, this indicates a race and adjust counters accordingly.
