[RFC][PATCH] hugetlb: fix resv_map leak in error path

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Fri May 18 2012 - 14:46:54 EST



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.

This hasn't been extensively tested. Pretty much compile and
boot tested along with Christoph's test case.

Comments?
