From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com> HugeTLB subpools currently only track used pages (used_hpages) when amaximum size limit (max_hpages) is configured. This breaks minimum size (min_hpages) guarantees. The subpool guaranteerequires that the sum of used pages and remaining subpool reservessatisfies the configured minimum:   used_hpages + rsv_hpages >= min_hpages where used_hpages includes both allocated folios and active reservations.Therefore, when pages or reservations are released, the maximum numberof reservations the subpool can absorb is:   limit = max(0, min_hpages - used_hpages) When used_hpages is untracked and remains zero,hugepage_subpool_put_pages() assumes limit == min_hpages. It falselyrestores reservations to the subpool even when existing allocationsalready satisfy the guarantee. This false restoration leads to:1. Leaked global reservations: resv_huge_pages is not decremented,   reducing the huge pages available for use across the host.2. Premature freeing: the subpool considers itself unreferenced on   unmount (rsv_hpages == min_hpages), freeing the subpool while folios   are still active in page cache and leading to a use-after-free. Fix this by unconditionally tracking used_hpages in the subpool, andcapping the reservations the subpool can absorb to(min_hpages - used_hpages). With used_hpages always tracked:- subpool_is_free() is simplified to check whether used_hpages is zero.- hugetlbfs_statfs() is updated to explicitly check for max_hpages == -1;  previously it relied on (-1 - 0) evaluating to -1, which would now  underflow and report negative free block counts. Trace of a false restoration: 1. Mount time:    + spool->min_hpages = 1 (user requested min_size=2M)    + spool->max_hpages = -1 (no maximum size specified)    + spool->rsv_hpages = 1 (reserve min_hpages)    + spool->used_hpages = 0 (untracked when max_hpages == -1)    + h->resv_huge_pages = 1 (reserved by hugetlb_acct_memory(h, 1)) 2. Shared mapping of 4MB (2 pages) created (mmap with MAP_SHARED):    + In hugetlb_reserve_pages(), region_chg() finds chg = 2 (pages 0      and 1 need reservations)    + hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, 2):        + spool->rsv_hpages = 0 (consumed the 1 subpool reservation)        + Returns 1 (since this subpool only had 1 reservation)    + hugetlb_acct_memory(h, 1):        + h->resv_huge_pages = 2 (incremented from 1 to 2 for the          global reservation)        + region_add() records reservations for pages 0 and 1 in          resv_map 3. Process touches and populates Page 0:    + hugetlb_no_page() calls alloc_hugetlb_folio()    + Page 0 reuses the existing reservation (vma_needs_reservation()      returns 0 => map_chg = MAP_CHG_REUSE = 0)    + hugepage_subpool_get_pages() is not called (map_chg == 0)    + dequeue_hugetlb_folio_nodemask() consumes 1 reservation:      h->resv_huge_pages = 1 (decremented from 2 to 1) 4. Process closes the file and exits:    + For MAP_SHARED mappings, reservations persist in inode resv_map    + Page 1 reservation remains active    + h->resv_huge_pages = 1 (retained for Page 1) 5. File is truncated to 2MB (truncate -s 2M):    + Truncation invokes remove_inode_hugepages() for range [1, LONG_MAX)    + Page 1 was never faulted into page cache => freed = 0    + Calls hugetlb_unreserve_pages(inode, 1, LONG_MAX, freed = 0)    + region_del() removes Page 1 from resv_map => chg = 1 6. Inside hugetlb_unreserve_pages(): hugepage_subpool_put_pages(1):    + delta = chg - freed = 1 - 0 = 1    + Because spool->max_hpages == -1, spool->used_hpages always = 0    + spool->used_hpages < spool->min_hpages (0 < 1 => true)      <<== subpool assumes 0 pages are in use, ignoring allocated Page 0    + spool->rsv_hpages + delta <= spool->min_hpages (0 + 1 <= 1 => true)    + spool->rsv_hpages += 1 => spool->rsv_hpages = 1      <<== false reservation restored to subpool    + Returns 0 (subpool absorbed the reservation) 7. Back in hugetlb_unreserve_pages(): hugetlb_acct_memory():    + hugetlb_acct_memory(h, -0) does nothing    + h->resv_huge_pages remains stuck at 1 even though both reservations      have ended (Page 0 allocated, Page 1 truncated) 8. Later during unmounting:    + subpool_is_free() checks spool->rsv_hpages == spool->min_hpages      (1 == 1 => true)    + The subpool is erroneously considered completely free    + hugetlb_acct_memory(spool->hstate, -spool->min_hpages) decrements      h->resv_huge_pages by 1 (1 - 1 = 0), masking the leak on unmount 9. If the folio outlives the inode:    + When Page 0 is freed, free_huge_folio() attempts to access the      freed subpool pointer, leading to a use-after-free and double-free.
