Mike Kravetz ff8c0c53c4 mm/hugetlb.c: don't call region_abort if region_chg fails
Changes to hugetlbfs reservation maps is a two step process.  The first
step is a call to region_chg to determine what needs to be changed, and
prepare that change.  This should be followed by a call to call to
region_add to commit the change, or region_abort to abort the change.

The error path in hugetlb_reserve_pages called region_abort after a
failed call to region_chg.  As a result, the adds_in_progress counter in
the reservation map is off by 1.  This is caught by a VM_BUG_ON in
resv_map_release when the reservation map is freed.

syzkaller fuzzer (when using an injected kmalloc failure) found this
bug, that resulted in the following:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
