From a1fde08c74e90accd62d4cfdbf580d2ede938fe7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 4 May 2011 21:30:28 -0700 Subject: VM: skip the stack guard page lookup in get_user_pages only for mlock The logic in __get_user_pages() used to skip the stack guard page lookup whenever the caller wasn't interested in seeing what the actual page was. But Michel Lespinasse points out that there are cases where we don't care about the physical page itself (so 'pages' may be NULL), but do want to make sure a page is mapped into the virtual address space. So using the existence of the "pages" array as an indication of whether to look up the guard page or not isn't actually so great, and we really should just use the FOLL_MLOCK bit. But because that bit was only set for the VM_LOCKED case (and not all vma's necessarily have it, even for mlock()), we couldn't do that originally. Fix that by moving the VM_LOCKED check deeper into the call-chain, which actually simplifies many things. Now mlock() gets simpler, and we can also check for FOLL_MLOCK in __get_user_pages() and the code ends up much more straightforward.

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.
