[PATCH] hugetlb: fix hugetlb cgroup refcounting during mremap

From: Bui Quang Minh
Date: Sat Nov 13 2021 - 10:44:49 EST


When hugetlb_vm_op_open() is called during copy_vma(), we may take the
reference to resv_map->css. Later, when clearing the reservation pointer
of old_vma after transferring it to new_vma, we forget to drop the
reference to resv_map->css. This leads to a reference leak of css.

Fixes this by adding a check to drop reservation css reference in
clear_vma_resv_huge_pages()

Fixes: 550a7d6 (mm, hugepages: add mremap() support for hugepage backed vma)
