[PATCH] thp: fix another corner case of munlock() vs. THPs
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Thu Mar 02 2017 - 10:07:46 EST
The following test case triggers BUG() in munlock_vma_pages_range():
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
system("mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt");
fd = open("/mnt/test", O_CREAT | O_RDWR);
ftruncate(fd, 4UL << 20);
mmap(NULL, 4UL << 20, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0);
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0);
munlockall();
return 0;
}
The second mmap() create PTE-mapping of the first huge page in file. It
makes kernel munlock the page as we never keep PTE-mapped page mlocked.
On munlockall() when we handle vma created by the first mmap(),
munlock_vma_page() returns page_mask == 0, as the page is not mlocked
anymore. On next iteration follow_page_mask() return tail page, but
page_mask is HPAGE_NR_PAGES - 1. It makes us skip to the first tail page
of the next huge page and step on VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageMlocked(page)).
The fix is not use the page_mask from follow_page_mask() at all. It has
no use for us.
