------------------------------------------------------ From: Wupeng Ma mawupeng1@huawei.com Subject: mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:26:33 +0800
During our testing with hugetlb subpool enabled, we observe that hstate->resv_huge_pages may underflow into negative values. Root cause analysis reveals a race condition in subpool reservation fallback handling as follow:
hugetlb_reserve_pages() /* Attempt subpool reservation */ gbl_reserve = hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, chg);
/* Global reservation may fail after subpool allocation */ if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0) goto out_put_pages;
out_put_pages: /* This incorrectly restores reservation to subpool */ hugepage_subpool_put_pages(spool, chg);
When hugetlb_acct_memory() fails after subpool allocation, the current implementation over-commits subpool reservations by returning the full 'chg' value instead of the actual allocated 'gbl_reserve' amount. This discrepancy propagates to global reservations during subsequent releases, eventually causing resv_huge_pages underflow.
This problem can be trigger easily with the following steps: 1. reverse hugepage for hugeltb allocation 2. mount hugetlbfs with min_size to enable hugetlb subpool 3. alloc hugepages with two task(make sure the second will fail due to insufficient amount of hugepages) 4. with for a few seconds and repeat step 3 which will make hstate->resv_huge_pages to go below zero.
To fix this problem, return corrent amount of pages to subpool during the fallback after hugepage_subpool_get_pages is called.
