Subject: [PATCH] Fix region lost in /proc/self/smaps
Recently, Redhat reported that nvml test suite failed on QEMU/KVM,
more detailed info please refer to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365721
Actually, this bug is not only for NVDIMM/DAX but also for any other file
systems. This simple test case abstracted from nvml can easily reproduce
this bug in common environment:
-------------------------- testcase.c -----------------------------
#define PROCMAXLEN 4096
int
is_pmem_proc(const void *addr, size_t len)
{
const char *caddr = addr;
FILE *fp;
if ((fp = fopen("/proc/self/smaps", "r")) == NULL) {
printf("!/proc/self/smaps");
return 0;
}
int retval = 0; /* assume false until proven otherwise */
char line[PROCMAXLEN]; /* for fgets() */
char *lo = NULL; /* beginning of current range in smaps file */
char *hi = NULL; /* end of current range in smaps file */
int needmm = 0; /* looking for mm flag for current range */
while (fgets(line, PROCMAXLEN, fp) != NULL) {
static const char vmflags[] = "VmFlags:";
static const char mm[] = " wr";
/* check for range line */
if (sscanf(line, "%p-%p", &lo, &hi) == 2) {
if (needmm) {
/* last range matched, but no mm flag found */
printf("never found mm flag.\n");
break;
} else if (caddr < lo) {
/* never found the range for caddr */
printf("#######no match for addr %p.\n", caddr);
break;
} else if (caddr < hi) {
/* start address is in this range */
size_t rangelen = (size_t)(hi - caddr);
/* remember that matching has started */
needmm = 1;
/* calculate remaining range to search for */
if (len > rangelen) {
len -= rangelen;
caddr += rangelen;
printf("matched %zu bytes in range "
"%p-%p, %zu left over.\n",
rangelen, lo, hi, len);
} else {
len = 0;
printf("matched all bytes in range "
"%p-%p.\n", lo, hi);
}
}
} else if (needmm && strncmp(line, vmflags,
sizeof(vmflags) - 1) == 0) {
if (strstr(&line[sizeof(vmflags) - 1], mm) != NULL) {
printf("mm flag found.\n");
if (len == 0) {
/* entire range matched */
retval = 1;
break;
}
needmm = 0; /* saw what was needed */
} else {
/* mm flag not set for some or all of range */
printf("range has no mm flag.\n");
break;
}
}
}
fclose(fp);
printf("returning %d.\n", retval);
return retval;
}

# ./testcase ~/out
It failed as some threads can not find the memory region in
"/proc/self/smaps" which is allocated in the mail process
It is caused by proc fs which uses 'file->version' to indicate the VMA that
is the last one has already been handled by read() system call. When the
next read() issues, it uses the 'version' to find the VMA, then the next
VMA is what we want to handle, the related code is as follows:
if (last_addr) {
vma = find_vma(mm, last_addr);
if (vma && (vma = m_next_vma(priv, vma)))
return vma;
}
However, VMA will be lost if the last VMA is gone, eg:
The process VMA list is A->B->C->D
CPU 0 CPU 1
read() system call
handle VMA B
version = B
return to userspace
unmap VMA B
issue read() again to continue to get
the region info
find_vma(version) will get VMA C
m_next_vma(C) will get VMA D
handle D
!!! VMA C is lost !!!
In order to fix this bug, we make 'file->version' indicate the next VMA
we want to handle
