This is useful for testing the poison page handling. This patch can allow root to tie up large amounts of memory. I got feedback from container developers and they didn't see any problem. v2: Use write flag for get_user_pages to make sure to always get a fresh page v3: Don't request write mapping (Fengguang Wu) v4: Move MADV_* number to avoid conflict with KSM (Hugh Dickins) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen --- diff --git a/include/asm-generic/mman-common.h b/include/asm-generic/mman-common.h index 3b69ad34189a..c325d1ef42ab 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/mman-common.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/mman-common.h @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ #define MADV_REMOVE 9 /* remove these pages & resources */ #define MADV_DONTFORK 10 /* don't inherit across fork */ #define MADV_DOFORK 11 /* do inherit across fork */ +#define MADV_HWPOISON 100 /* poison a page for testing */ /* compatibility flags */ #define MAP_FILE 0 diff --git a/mm/madvise.c b/mm/madvise.c index 76eb4193acdd..8dbd38b8e4a4 100644 --- a/mm/madvise.c +++ b/mm/madvise.c @@ -207,6 +207,32 @@ static long madvise_remove(struct vm_area_struct *vma, return error; } +#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE +/* + * Error injection support for memory error handling. + */ +static int madvise_hwpoison(unsigned long start, unsigned long end) +{ + int ret = 0; + + if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) + return -EPERM; + for (; start < end; start += PAGE_SIZE) { + struct page *p; + int ret = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1, + 0, 0, &p, NULL); + if (ret != 1) + return ret; + printk(KERN_INFO "Injecting memory failure for page %lx at %lx\n", + page_to_pfn(p), start); + /* Ignore return value for now */ + __memory_failure(page_to_pfn(p), 0, 1); + put_page(p); + } + return ret; +} +#endif + static long madvise_vma(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct vm_area_struct **prev, unsigned long start, unsigned long end, int behavior) @@ -307,6 +333,10 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(madvise, unsigned long, start, size_t, len_in, int, behavior) int write; size_t len; +#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE + if (behavior == MADV_HWPOISON) + return madvise_hwpoison(start, start+len_in); +#endif if (!madvise_behavior_valid(behavior)) return error;
