From 72231b03ccf126ca04fba8359998ef7dfd195577 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:21:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, hugetlb: add VM_NORESERVE check in vma_has_reserves() If we map the region with MAP_NORESERVE and MAP_SHARED, we can skip to check reserve counting and eventually we cannot be ensured to allocate a huge page in fault time. With following example code, you can easily find this situation. Assume 2MB, nr_hugepages = 100 fd = hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd(); if (fd < 0) return 1; size = 200 * MB; flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } size = 2 * MB; flag = MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED | MAP_HUGETLB | MAP_NORESERVE; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, -1, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } p[0] = '0'; sleep(10); During executing sleep(10), run 'cat /proc/meminfo' on another process. HugePages_Free: 99 HugePages_Rsvd: 100 Number of free should be higher or equal than number of reserve, but this aren't. This represent that non reserved shared mapping steal a reserved page. Non reserved shared mapping should not eat into reserve space. If we consider VM_NORESERVE in vma_has_reserve() and return 0 which mean that we don't have reserved pages, then we check that we have enough free pages in dequeue_huge_page_vma(). This prevent to steal a reserved page. With this change, above test generate a SIGBUG which is correct, because all free pages are reserved and non reserved shared mapping can't get a free page.
