The patch titled Subject: mm/hugetlb.c: don't call region_abort if region_chg fails has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlb-dont-call-region_abort-if-region_chg-fails.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/hugetlb.c: don't call region_abort if region_chg fails Changes to hugetlbfs reservation maps is a two step process. The first step is a call to region_chg to determine what needs to be changed, and prepare that change. This should be followed by a call to call to region_add to commit the change, or region_abort to abort the change. The error path in hugetlb_reserve_pages called region_abort after a failed call to region_chg. As a result, the adds_in_progress counter in the reservation map is off by 1. This is caught by a VM_BUG_ON in resv_map_release when the reservation map is freed. syzkaller fuzzer (when using an injected kmalloc failure) found this bug, that resulted in the following: kernel BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:742!
