[PATCH 5.10 35/91] mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 12df140f0bdfae5dcfc81800970dd7f6f632e00c upstream.

The h->*_huge_pages counters are protected by the hugetlb_lock, but
alloc_huge_page has a corner case where it can decrement the counter
outside of the lock.

This could lead to a corrupted value of h->resv_huge_pages, which we have
observed on our systems.

Take the hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages to avoid a
potential race.
