The resv_map could be NULL since this routine can be called in the evict inode path for all hugetlbfs inodes and we will have chg = 0 in this case. But (chg - freed) won't go negative as Mike pointed out: "If resv_map is NULL, then no hugetlb pages can be allocated/associated with the file. As a result, remove_inode_hugepages will never find any huge pages associated with the inode and the passed value 'freed' will always be zero." Add a comment clarifying this to make it clear and also avoid confusion.

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.
