Subject: mm/gup: memfd: stop leaking pinned pages in low memory conditions
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2024 18:17:11 -0700
If check_and_migrate_movable_pages() fails, typically with -ENOMEM, then
memfd_pin_folios() will leave pages pinned. Those are leaked forever,
and are visible to user space as a memory leak.
Fix this by unpinning the folios that try_grab_folio(FOLL_PIN) has
pinned, in such error cases.
