Mike Kravetz 1817889e3b mm/hugetlbfs: fix bugs in fallocate hole punch of areas with holes ... Hugh Dickins pointed out problems with the new hugetlbfs fallocate hole punch code. These problems are in the routine remove_inode_hugepages and mostly occur in the case where there are holes in the range of pages to be removed. These holes could be the result of a previous hole punch or simply sparse allocation. The current code could access pages outside the specified range. remove_inode_hugepages handles both hole punch and truncate operations. Page index handling was fixed/cleaned up so that the loop index always matches the page being processed. The code now only makes a single pass through the range of pages as it was determined page faults could not race with truncate. A cond_resched() was added after removing up to PAGEVEC_SIZE pages. Some totally unnecessary code in hugetlbfs_fallocate() that remained from early development was also removed. Tested with fallocate tests submitted here: http://librelist.com/browser//libhugetlbfs/2015/6/25/patch-tests-add-tests-for-fallocate-system-call/ And, some ftruncate tests under development Fixes: b5cec28d36 ("hugetlbfs: truncate_hugepages() takes a range of pages") Signed-off-by: Mike Kravetz <[email protected]> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <[email protected]> Cc: Dave Hansen <[email protected]> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <[email protected]> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <[email protected]> Cc: "Hillf Danton" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> [4.3] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>		2015-11-20 16:17:32 -08:00
