[PATCH] mm: for shm_open()/mmap() with OVERCOMMIT_NEVER, return -1 if no memory avail

From: Azat Khuzhin
Date: Tue Jul 30 2013 - 15:58:13 EST


Otherwize if there is no left space on shmem device, there will be
"Bus error" when application will try to write to address space that was
returned by mmap(2)

This patch also preserve old behaviour if MAP_NORESERVE/VM_NORESERVE
isset.

So, with this patch, you will get next:

a)
$ echo 2 >| /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
....
mmap() = MAP_FAILED;
....

b)
....
mmap(0, length, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_NORESERVE) = !MAP_FAILED;
write()
killed by SIGBUS
....

c)
$ echo 0 >| /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
....
mmap() = !MAP_FAILED;
write()
killed by SIGBUS
....
