Subject[PATCH v2] mlock: set VM_WRITE in case we don't have read permission.
Date
From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@taobao.com>

In 5ecfda0, we do some optimization in mlock, but it causes
a very basic test case(attached below) of mlock to fail. So
this patch add another check that if we don't have read permission,
still set FOLL_WRITE flag. Thank KOSAKI for the suggestion.
The test program is attached below.

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int main()
{
char *buf, *testfile = "test_mmap";
int fd, file_len = 40960, ret = -1;

fd = open(testfile, O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("open");
return -1;
}

if (ftruncate(fd, file_len) < 0) {
perror("ftruncate");
goto out;
}

buf = mmap(NULL, file_len, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (buf == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
goto out;
}

if (mlock(buf, file_len) < 0) {
perror("mlock");
goto out;
}

munlock(buf, file_len);
munmap(buf, file_len);
ret = 0;
out:
close(fd);
return ret;
}
