From a09a79f66874c905af35d5bb5e5f2fdc7b6b894d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Mon, 9 May 2011 13:01:09 +0200 Subject: Don't lock guardpage if the stack is growing up Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too. This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch. [ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc//maps for the grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and share the infrstructure with the /proc bits. Tested on ia64 that has both grow-up and grow-down segments - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Tested-by: Tony Luck Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/proc/task_mmu.c | 12 +++++++----- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/proc') diff --git a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c index 2e7addfd9803..318d8654989b 100644 --- a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c +++ b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c @@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ static void show_map_vma(struct seq_file *m, struct vm_area_struct *vma) int flags = vma->vm_flags; unsigned long ino = 0; unsigned long long pgoff = 0; - unsigned long start; + unsigned long start, end; dev_t dev = 0; int len; @@ -227,13 +227,15 @@ static void show_map_vma(struct seq_file *m, struct vm_area_struct *vma) /* We don't show the stack guard page in /proc/maps */ start = vma->vm_start; - if (vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN) - if (!vma_stack_continue(vma->vm_prev, vma->vm_start)) - start += PAGE_SIZE; + if (stack_guard_page_start(vma, start)) + start += PAGE_SIZE; + end = vma->vm_end; + if (stack_guard_page_end(vma, end)) + end -= PAGE_SIZE; seq_printf(m, "%08lx-%08lx %c%c%c%c %08llx %02x:%02x %lu %n", start, - vma->vm_end, + end, flags & VM_READ ?
