This change completely reverts 5/9, so can you omit 5/9?

You use chg or gbl_chg depending on avoid_reserve here, and below this line
there's code like below

	commit = vma_commit_reservation(h, vma, addr);
	if (unlikely(chg > commit)) {
		...
	}

This also need to be changed to use chg or gbl_chg depending on avoid_reserve?

# I feel that this reserve-handling code in alloc_huge_page() is too complicated
# and hard to understand, so some cleanup like separating reserve parts into
# other new routine(s) might be helpful...
