The helper routine hstate_next_node_to_alloc accesses and modifies the hstate variable next_nid_to_alloc. The helper is used by the routines alloc_pool_huge_page and adjust_pool_surplus. adjust_pool_surplus is called with hugetlb_lock held. However, alloc_pool_huge_page can not be called with the hugetlb lock held as it will call the page allocator. Two instances of alloc_pool_huge_page could be run in parallel or alloc_pool_huge_page could run in parallel with adjust_pool_surplus which may result in the variable next_nid_to_alloc becoming invalid for the caller and pages being allocated on the wrong node. Both alloc_pool_huge_page and adjust_pool_surplus are only called from the routine set_max_huge_pages after boot. set_max_huge_pages is only called as the reusult of a user writing to the proc/sysfs nr_hugepages, or nr_hugepages_mempolicy file to adjust the number of hugetlb pages. It makes little sense to allow multiple adjustment to the number of hugetlb pages in parallel. Add a mutex to the hstate and use it to only allow one hugetlb page adjustment at a time. This will synchronize modifications to the next_nid_to_alloc variable.

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.
