Miaohe Lin 1d88433bb0 mm/hugetlb: fix use after free when subpool max_hpages accounting is not enabled
If a hugetlbfs filesystem is created with the min_size option and
without the size option, used_hpages is always 0 and might lead to
release subpool prematurely because it indicates no pages are used now
while there might be.

In order to fix this issue, we should check used_hpages == 0 iff
max_hpages accounting is enabled.  As max_hpages accounting should be
enabled in most common case, this is not worth a Cc stable.

README

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.
