Subject: [PATCH] mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing
h->resv_huge_pages

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.

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.
