Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm/hugetlb: do not call vma_add_reservation upon ENOMEM<br />
<br />
sysbot reported a splat [1] on __unmap_hugepage_range(). This is because<br />
vma_needs_reservation() can return -ENOMEM if<br />
allocate_file_region_entries() fails to allocate the file_region struct<br />
for the reservation.<br />
<br />
Check for that and do not call vma_add_reservation() if that is the case,<br />
otherwise region_abort() and region_del() will see that we do not have any<br />
file_regions.<br />
<br />
If we detect that vma_needs_reservation() returned -ENOMEM, we clear the<br />
hugetlb_restore_reserve flag as if this reservation was still consumed, so<br />
free_huge_folio() will not increment the resv count.<br />
<br />
