+Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: fix resv_map leak in error path
+
+When called for anonymous (non-shared) mappings, hugetlb_reserve_pages()
+does a resv_map_alloc().  It depends on code in hugetlbfs's
+vm_ops->close() to release that allocation.
+
+However, in the mmap() failure path, we do a plain unmap_region() without
+the remove_vma() which actually calls vm_ops->close().
+
+This is a decent fix.  This leak could get reintroduced if new code (say,
+after hugetlb_reserve_pages() in hugetlbfs_file_mmap()) decides to return
+an error.  But, I think it would have to unroll the reservation anyway.
+
+Christoph's test case:
+
+	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=133728900729735
+
+This patch applies to 3.4 and later.  A version for earlier kernels is at
+https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/22/418.
