Subject: [08/26] ramfs: fix memleak on no-mmu arch
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:02:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110419210323.123191265@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110419210333.GA17417@kroah.com>

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bob Liu <lliubbo@gmail.com>

commit b836aec53e2bce71de1d5415313380688c851477 upstream.

On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test.  The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.

The simple test file is like this:

  int main(void)
  {
	int i;
	key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);

	for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
		int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
		if (id == -1) {
			printf("shmget error\n");
		}
		if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
			printf("shm  rm error\n");
			return -1;
		}
	}
	printf("run ok...\n");
	return 0;
  }

And the result:

  root:/> free
               total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:         60320        17912        42408            0            0

  -/+ buffers:              19096        41224

  root:/> free
               total         used         free       shared      buffers

  -/+ buffers:              20296        40024
  ...

After this patch the test result is:(no memleak anymore)
