Subject: [39/90] mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in mincore()
2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@...jp.nec.com>
commit 4f16fc107d9c9b8a72aa19b189a9216e90a7aaef upstream.
Most callers of pmd_none_or_clear_bad() check whether the target page is
in a hugepage or not, but mincore() and walk_page_range() do not check it.
So if we use mincore() on a hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage memory
is leaked as shown below. This patch fixes it by extending mincore()
system call to support hugepages.
Details
=======
My test program (leak_mincore) works as follows:
- creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
- read()/write() something on it,
- call mincore() for first ten pages and printf() the values of *vec
- munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs
Without my patch
----------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo| grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total: 1000
HugePages_Free: 1000
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
$ ./leak_mincore
vec[0] 0
vec[1] 0
vec[2] 0
vec[3] 0
vec[4] 0
vec[5] 0
vec[6] 0
vec[7] 0
vec[8] 0
vec[9] 0
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total: 1000
HugePages_Free: 999
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
$ ls /hugetlbfs/
$
Return values in *vec from mincore() are set to 0, while the hugepage
should be in memory, and 1 hugepage is still accounted as used while
there is no file on hugetlbfs.
With my patch
-------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo| grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total: 1000
HugePages_Free: 1000
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
$ ./leak_mincore
vec[0] 1
vec[1] 1
vec[2] 1
vec[3] 1
vec[4] 1
vec[5] 1
vec[6] 1
vec[7] 1
vec[8] 1
vec[9] 1
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total: 1000
HugePages_Free: 1000
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
$ ls /hugetlbfs/
$
Return value in *vec set to 1 and no memory leaks.
