The h->*_huge_pages counters are protected by the hugetlb_lock, but
alloc_huge_page has a corner case where it can decrement the counter
outside of the lock.
This could lead to a corrupted value of h->resv_huge_pages, which we have
observed on our systems.
Take the hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages to avoid a
potential race.

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.
