Subject: [BUG] hugetlb MAP_PRIVATE mapping vs /dev/zero
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 2004 20:29:18 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40E43BDE.85C5D670@tv-sign.ru> (raw)
Hello.
Hugetlbfs mmap with MAP_PRIVATE becomes MAP_SHARED
silently, but vma->vm_flags have no VM_SHARED bit.
I think it make sense to forbid MAP_PRIVATE in
hugetlbfs_file_mmap() because it may confuse user
space applications. But the real bug is that reading
from /dev/zero into hugetlb will do:
read_zero()
read_zero_pagealigned()
if (vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED)
break; // OK if MAP_PRIVATE
zap_page_range();
zeromap_page_range();
We can fix hugetlbfs_file_mmap() or read_zero_pagealigned()
or both.
Oleg.
