hugetlb_cgroup: fix imbalanced css_get and css_put pair for shared mappings
The current implementation of hugetlb_cgroup for shared mappings could
have different behavior. Consider the following two scenarios:
1.Assume initial css reference count of hugetlb_cgroup is 1:
1.1 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 1, to = 2. So css reference
count is 2 associated with 1 file_region.
1.2 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 2, to = 3. So css reference
count is 3 associated with 2 file_region.
1.3 coalesce_file_region will coalesce these two file_regions into
one. So css reference count is 3 associated with 1 file_region
now.
2.Assume initial css reference count of hugetlb_cgroup is 1 again:
2.1 Call hugetlb_reserve_pages with from = 1, to = 3. So css reference
count is 2 associated with 1 file_region.
Therefore, we might have one file_region while holding one or more css
reference counts. This inconsistency could lead to imbalanced css_get()
and css_put() pair. If we do css_put one by one (i.g. hole punch case),
scenario 2 would put one more css reference. If we do css_put all
together (i.g. truncate case), scenario 1 will leak one css reference.
The imbalanced css_get() and css_put() pair would result in a non-zero
reference when we try to destroy the hugetlb cgroup. The hugetlb cgroup
directory is removed __but__ associated resource is not freed. This
might result in OOM or can not create a new hugetlb cgroup in a busy
workload ultimately.
In order to fix this, we have to make sure that one file_region must
hold exactly one css reference. So in coalesce_file_region case, we
should release one css reference before coalescence. Also only put css
reference when the entire file_region is removed.
The last thing to note is that the caller of region_add() will only hold
one reference to h_cg->css for the whole contiguous reservation region.
But this area might be scattered when there are already some
file_regions reside in it. As a result, many file_regions may share only
one h_cg->css reference. In order to ensure that one file_region must
hold exactly one css reference, we should do css_get() for each
file_region and release the reference held by caller when they are done.
