When a huge page is allocated, PagePrivate() is set if the allocation consumed a reservation. When freeing a huge page, PagePrivate is checked. If set, it indicates the reservation should be restored. PagePrivate being set at free huge page time mostly happens on error paths. When huge page reservations are created, a check is made to determine if the mapping is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem. If so, pages are also reserved within the filesystem. The default action when freeing a huge page is to decrement the usage count in any associated explicitly mounted filesystem. However, if the reservation is to be restored the reservation/use count within the filesystem should not be decrementd. Otherwise, a subsequent page allocation and free for the same mapping location will cause the file filesystem usage to go 'negative'. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on nodev 4.0G -4.0M 4.1G - /opt/hugepool To fix, when freeing a huge page do not adjust filesystem usage if PagePrivate() is set to indicate the reservation should be restored.
