When we try to allocate a folio via alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve(), we need to ensure that there is an active reservation associated with the allocation. Otherwise, our allocation request would fail if there are no active reservations made at that moment against any other allocations. This is because alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve() checks h->resv_huge_pages before proceeding with the allocation. Therefore, to address this issue, we just need to make a reservation (by calling hugetlb_reserve_pages()) before we try to allocate the folio. This will also ensure that proper region/subpool accounting is done associated with our allocation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
