From c50ac050811d6485616a193eb0f37bfbd191cc89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: fix resv_map leak in error path When called for anonymous (non-shared) mappings, hugetlb_reserve_pages() does a resv_map_alloc(). It depends on code in hugetlbfs's vm_ops->close() to release that allocation. However, in the mmap() failure path, we do a plain unmap_region() without the remove_vma() which actually calls vm_ops->close(). This is a decent fix. This leak could get reintroduced if new code (say, after hugetlb_reserve_pages() in hugetlbfs_file_mmap()) decides to return an error. But, I think it would have to unroll the reservation anyway. Christoph's test case: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=133728900729735 This patch applies to 3.4 and later. A version for earlier kernels is at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/22/418.
