[PATCH RFC] hugetlb_cgroup: fix unbalanced css_put for shared mappings

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Sat Jan 23 2021 - 04:32:34 EST


The current implementation of hugetlb_cgroup for shared mappings could have
different behavior. Consider the following two scenarios:

1.Assume initial css reference count of hugetlb_cgroup is 1:
1.1 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 1, to = 2. So css reference
count is 2 associated with 1 file_region.
1.2 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 2, to = 3. So css reference
count is 3 associated with 2 file_region.
1.3 coalesce_file_region will coalesce these two file_regions into one.
So css reference count is 3 associated with 1 file_region now.

2.Assume initial css reference count of hugetlb_cgroup is 1 again:
2.1 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 1, to = 3. So css reference
count is 2 associated with 1 file_region.

Therefore, we might have one file_region while holding one or more css
reference counts. This inconsistency could lead to unbalanced css_put().
If we do css_put one by one (i.g. hole punch case), scenario 2 would put
one more css reference. If we do css_put all together (i.g. truncate case),
scenario 1 will leak one css reference.

In order to fix this, we have to make sure that one file_region may hold
and must hold one css reference. So in coalesce_file_region case, we should
release one css reference before coalescence. Also only put css reference
when the entire file_region is removed.
