A memory leak in hugetlb_reserve_pages was reported in [1]. The root cause was traced to an error path in mmap_region when mas_preallocate() fails. In this case, the vma is freed after a successful call to filesystem specific mmap. The hugetlbfs mmap routine may allocate data structures pointed to by m_private_data. These need to be cleaned up by the hugetlb vm_ops->close() routine. The same issue was addressed by commitdeb0f65628("mm/mmap: undo ->mmap() when arch_validate_flags() fails") for the arch_validate_flags() test. Go to the same close_and_free_vma label if mas_preallocate() fails.

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 Restructured Text 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.
