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