From: Ackerley Tng (This reproducer was hacked up and not meant to be merged.) The kernel leaks subpool usage and the subpool structure itself if a HugeTLBfs mount specifying size (which sets max_hpages on the subpool) is created. subpool_leak_max_size.sh reproduces this with the following steps: 1. Create mount, specifying size=2M (1 page). This sets max_hpages = 1 on the subpool, but does not reserve any pages. 2. Set nr_hugepages = 0 and nr_overcommit_hugepages = 0 so that physical allocations will fail. 3. Run fallocate -l 2M on a file in the mount. + This calls hugetlbfs_fallocate, which attempts to allocate a page by calling alloc_hugetlb_folio. + alloc_hugetlb_folio calls hugepage_subpool_get_pages to track the allocation against the subpool limit. This increments used_hpages to 1. + Physical allocation fails because nr_hugepages is 0. + Before patch (Buggy): + The error path in alloc_hugetlb_folio sees gbl_chg is 1 (indicating we tried to allocate a global page) and incorrectly skips calling hugepage_subpool_put_pages. + fallocate fails and returns to userspace, but the subpool used_hpages counter remains leaked at 1. + After patch: + The error path always calls hugepage_subpool_put_pages if map_chg is true, restoring used_hpages to 0. 4. Unmount the filesystem. + During unmount, the kernel calls unlock_or_release_subpool to clean up the subpool. + It checks if the subpool is free using subpool_is_free, which returns whether used_hpages is 0. + Before patch (Buggy): + Since used_hpages leaked and is 1, subpool_is_free returns false. + The kernel skips freeing the subpool structure, leaking the hugepage_subpool structure in kernel memory. + After patch: + Since used_hpages is 0, subpool_is_free returns true, and the subpool structure is correctly freed.
