The userfaultfd hugetlb tests cause a resv_huge_pages underflow. This
happens when hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte() is called with !is_continue on
an index for which we already have a page in the cache. When this
happens, we allocate a second page, double consuming the reservation,
and then fail to insert the page into the cache and return -EEXIST.
To fix this, we first check if there is a page in the cache which
already consumed the reservation, and return -EEXIST immediately if so.
There is still a rare condition where we fail to copy the page contents
AND race with a call for hugetlb_no_page() for this index and again we
will underflow resv_huge_pages. That is fixed in a more complicated
patch not targeted for -stable.
Test:
Hacked the code locally such that resv_huge_pages underflows produce a
warning, then:
./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb_shared 10
2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test && echo test success
./tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd hugetlb 10
2 /tmp/kokonut_test/huge/userfaultfd_test && echo test success
Both tests succeed and produce no warnings. After the test runs number
of free/resv hugepages is correct.

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.
