mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in mincore()
Most callers of pmd_none_or_clear_bad() check whether the target page is in a hugepage or not, but mincore() and walk_page_range() do not check it. So if we use mincore() on a hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage memory is leaked as shown below. This patch fixes it by extending mincore() system call to support hugepages. Details ======= My test program (leak_mincore) works as follows: - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,) - read()/write() something on it, - call mincore() for first ten pages and printf() the values of *vec - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs Without my patch ---------------- $ cat /proc/meminfo| grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_mincore vec[0] 0 vec[1] 0 vec[2] 0 vec[3] 0 vec[4] 0 vec[5] 0 vec[6] 0 vec[7] 0 vec[8] 0 vec[9] 0 $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 999 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs/ $ Return values in *vec from mincore() are set to 0, while the hugepage should be in memory, and 1 hugepage is still accounted as used while there is no file on hugetlbfs. With my patch ------------- $ cat /proc/meminfo| grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_mincore vec[0] 1 vec[1] 1 vec[2] 1 vec[3] 1 vec[4] 1 vec[5] 1 vec[6] 1 vec[7] 1 vec[8] 1 vec[9] 1 $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs/ $ Return value in *vec set to 1 and no memory leaks.
