IIUC, the concern is matching files in hugetlbfs. Maybe we can exclude
that specifically?

To use hugepage_vma_check(), we will need to set VM_HUGEPAGE for the
following case:

mount shm with huge=always
copy app to shm
start app and enable uprobe
disable uprobe

This vma will not have VM_HUGEPAGE, so it will fail hugepage_vma_check().

How about something like:

diff --git i/kernel/events/uprobes.c w/kernel/events/uprobes.c
index 94d38a39d72e..f0d3e367f907 100644
--- i/kernel/events/uprobes.c
+++ w/kernel/events/uprobes.c
@@ -532,8 +532,10 @@ int uprobe_write_opcode(struct arch_uprobe *auprobe, struct mm_struct *mm,
put_page(new_page);
new_page = NULL;

- if (PageCompound(orig_page))
+ if (PageCompound(orig_page)) {
orig_page_huge = true;
+ vma->vm_flags |= VM_HUGEPAGE;
+ }
}
put_page(orig_page);
}
Thanks,
Song
