| |
Hi,
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 read /proc/pid/pagemap for the hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage memory is leaked as shown below. This patch fixes it by extending pagemap interface to support hugepages.
I split this fix into two patches. The first patch just adds the check for hugepages, and the second patch adds a new member to struct mm_walk to handle the hugepages.

Details ======= My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows: - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,) - read()/write() something on it, - call page-types with option -p, - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs Without my patches ------------------ $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_pagemap flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000000000000 1 0 __________________________________ 0x0000000000000804 1 0 __R________M______________________ referenced,mmap 0x000000000000086c 81 0 __RU_lA____M______________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap 0x0000000000005808 5 0 ___U_______Ma_b___________________ uptodate,mmap,anonymous,swapbacked 0x0000000000005868 12 0 ___U_lA____Ma_b___________________ uptodate,lru,active,mmap,anonymous,swapbacked 0x000000000000586c 1 0 __RU_lA____Ma_b___________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap,anonymous,swapbacked total 101 0 $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 900 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs/ $
The output of page-types don't show any hugepage, and 100 hugepages are accounted as used while there is no file on hugetlbfs
With my patches --------------- $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_pagemap flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags 0x0000000000000000 1 0 __________________________________ 0x0000000000030000 51100 199 ________________TG________________ compound_tail,huge 0x0000000000028018 100 0 ___UD__________H_G________________ uptodate,dirty,compound_head,huge 0x0000000000000804 1 0 __R________M______________________ referenced,mmap 0x000000000000080c 1 0 __RU_______M______________________ referenced,uptodate,mmap 0x000000000000086c 80 0 __RU_lA____M______________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap 0x0000000000005808 4 0 ___U_______Ma_b___________________ uptodate,mmap,anonymous,swapbacked 0x0000000000005868 12 0 ___U_lA____Ma_b___________________ uptodate,lru,active,mmap,anonymous,swapbacked 0x000000000000586c 1 0 __RU_lA____Ma_b___________________ referenced,uptodate,lru,active,mmap,anonymous,swapbacked total 51300 200 $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs $
The output of page-types shows 51200 pages contributing to hugepages, containing 100 head pages and 51100 tail pages as expected. And no memory leaks.
Thanks, Naoya Horiguchi
