This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm/hugetlbfs: fix error handling when setting up mounts to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mm-hugetlbfs-fix-error-handling-when-setting-up-moun.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9e8eb6d74a7aa67fd06ad407af15ef494e11f2a6 Author: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 30 17:56:34 2019 -0800 mm/hugetlbfs: fix error handling when setting up mounts [ Upstream commit 8fc312b32b25c6b0a8b46fab4df8c68df5af1223 ] It is assumed that the hugetlbfs_vfsmount[] array will contain either a valid vfsmount pointer or NULL for each hstate after initialization. Changes made while converting to use fs_context broke this assumption. While fixing the hugetlbfs_vfsmount issue, it was discovered that init_hugetlbfs_fs never did correctly clean up when encountering a vfs mount error. It was found during code inspection. A small memory allocation failure would be the most likely cause of taking a error path with the bug. This is unlikely to happen as this is early init code.
