Mike Kravetz e5bbc8a6c9 mm/hugetlb.c: fix reservation race when freeing surplus pages 
return_unused_surplus_pages() decrements the global reservation count,
and frees any unused surplus pages that were backing the reservation.

Commit 7848a4bf51 ("mm/hugetlb.c: add cond_resched_lock() in
return_unused_surplus_pages()") added a call to cond_resched_lock in the
loop freeing the pages.

As a result, the hugetlb_lock could be dropped, and someone else could
use the pages that will be freed in subsequent iterations of the loop.
This could result in inconsistent global hugetlb page state, application
api failures (such as mmap) failures or application crashes.

When dropping the lock in return_unused_surplus_pages, make sure that
the global reservation count (resv_huge_pages) remains sufficiently
large to prevent someone else from claiming pages about to be freed.

Analyzed by Paul Cassella.

README 

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.
