Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Fix memory leak of never putback pages in mbind()


if mbind() receive invalid address, do_mbind makes leaked page.
following test program detect its leak.

This patch fixes it.

{

	void* addr;

	addr = mmap(NULL, pagesize*3, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
		    MAP_ANON|MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0);
	if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
		return NULL;

	/* make page populate */
	memset(addr, 0, pagesize*3);

	/* make memory hole */
	munmap(addr+pagesize, pagesize);

	return addr;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)

		case 'n':
			node = strtol(optarg, NULL, 0);
			numa_bitmask_setbit(nmask, node);
			node_set = 1;
			break;
		default:

		}
	}
	argc -= optind;
	argv += optind;

	if (!node_set)
		numa_bitmask_setbit(nmask, 0);

	pagesize = getpagesize();

	addr = make_hole_mapping();

	err = mbind(addr, pagesize*3, MPOL_BIND, nmask->maskp, nmask->size, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL);
	if (err)
		perror("mbind ");

	return 0;
