mm: merging memory blocks resets mempolicy
Using mbind to change the mempolicy to MPOL_BIND on several adjacent mmapped blocks may result in a reset of the mempolicy to MPOL_DEFAULT in vma_adjust. Test code. Correct result is three lines containing "OK". #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <numaif.h> #include <errno.h> /* gcc mbind_test.c -lnuma -o mbind_test -Wall */ #define MAXNODE 4096 void allocate() { int ret; int len; int policy = -1; unsigned char *p; unsigned long mask[MAXNODE] = { 0 }; unsigned long retmask[MAXNODE] = { 0 }; len = getpagesize() * 0x2fc00; p = mmap(NULL, len, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) printf("mbind err: %d\n", errno); mask[0] = 1; ret = mbind(p, len, MPOL_BIND, mask, MAXNODE, 0); if (ret < 0) printf("mbind err: %d %d\n", ret, errno); ret = get_mempolicy(&policy, retmask, MAXNODE, p, MPOL_F_ADDR); if (ret < 0) printf("get_mempolicy err: %d %d\n", ret, errno); if (policy == MPOL_BIND) printf("OK\n"); else printf("ERROR: policy is %d\n", policy); } int main() { allocate(); allocate(); allocate(); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Steven T Hampson <steven.t.hampson@intel.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
