memfd_pin_folios followed by unpin_folios leaves resv_huge_pages elevated
if the pages were not already faulted in. During a normal page fault,
resv_huge_pages is consumed here:
hugetlb_fault()
alloc_hugetlb_folio()
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma()
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_node_exact()
free_huge_pages--
resv_huge_pages--
During memfd_pin_folios, the page is created by calling
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask instead of alloc_hugetlb_folio, and
resv_huge_pages is not modified:
memfd_alloc_folio()
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_node_exact()
free_huge_pages--
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask has other callers that must not modify
resv_huge_pages. Therefore, to fix, define an alternate version of
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask for this call site that adjusts
resv_huge_pages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
