A simple reproducer:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <linux/mman.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
         char *map;
         int mem_fd;

         map = mmap(NULL, 2 * 1024 * 1024u, PROT_READ,
                    MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON|MAP_HUGETLB|MAP_HUGE_2MB, -1, 0);
         if (map == MAP_FAILED) {
                 fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %d\n", errno);
                 return 1;
         }

         mem_fd = open("/proc/self/mem", O_RDWR);
         if (mem_fd < 0) {
                 fprintf(stderr, "open(/proc/self/mem) failed: %d\n", errno);
                 return 1;
         }

         if (pwrite(mem_fd, "0", 1, (uintptr_t) map) == 1) {
                 fprintf(stderr, "write() succeeded, which is unexpected\n");
                 return 1;
         }

         printf("write() failed as expected: %d\n", errno);
         return 0;
}



I started looking at the follow_hugetlb_page() call in __get_user_pages() and
my head seriously started to hurt.

Why are we storing to "i" and error from follow_hugetlb_page()->hugetlb_fault()
and then eventually happily continuing?

I'm afraid of touching that code, it looks too fragile.

Hopefully I am missing something important and it's all perfectly
fine code.
