Subject[PATCH RFC] mm: account VMA before forced-COW via /proc/pid/mem
From
Date
Currently kernel does not account read-only private mappings into memory commitment.
But these mappings can be force-COW-ed in get_user_pages(). This way we can freely
overcommit memory usage. And I'm afraid not only /proc/pid/mem able to trigger this.

This patch counts VMA into memory commitment before forced-COW in /proc/pid/mem.

before patch:

$ ./private-overcommit 6
before:
AnonPages: 705912 kB
CommitLimit: 3964536 kB
Committed_AS: 1225340 kB
after:
AnonPages: 6991060 kB
CommitLimit: 3964536 kB
Committed_AS: 1226596 kB

after patch:

$ ./private-overcommit 6
before:
AnonPages: 98760 kB
CommitLimit: 3964512 kB
Committed_AS: 369864 kB
after:
AnonPages: 6378052 kB
CommitLimit: 3964512 kB
Committed_AS: 6662064 kB

Now overcommit control can work:

$ sudo sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=2
$ ./private-overcommit 6

AnonPages: 105252 kB
