Subject: [PATCH 3.12 124/142] mm: fix mlock accouting

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 7162a1e87b3e380133dadc7909081bb70d0a7041 upstream.

Tetsuo Handa reported underflow of NR_MLOCK on munlock.

Testcase:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <sys/mman.h>

    #define BASE ((void *)0x400000000000)
    #define SIZE (1UL << 21)

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        void *addr;

        system("grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo");
        addr = mmap(BASE, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_LOCKED | MAP_FIXED,
                -1, 0);
        if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
            printf("mmap() failed\n"), exit(1);
        munmap(addr, SIZE);
        system("grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo");
        return 0;
    }

It happens on munlock_vma_page() due to unfortunate choice of nr_pages
data type:

    __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_MLOCK, -nr_pages);

For unsigned int nr_pages, implicitly casted to long in
__mod_zone_page_state(), it becomes something around UINT_MAX.

munlock_vma_page() usually called for THP as small pages go though
pagevec.

Let's make nr_pages signed int.

Similar fixes in 6cdb18ad98a4 ("mm/vmstat: fix overflow in
mod_zone_page_state()") used `long' type, but `int' here is OK for a
count of the number of sub-pages in a huge page.
