mm: hugetlb pages should not be reserved by shmat() if SHM_NORESERVE
For shared memory of type SHM_HUGETLB, hugetlb pages are reserved in shmget() call. If SHM_NORESERVE flags is specified then the hugetlb pages are not reserved. However when the shared memory is attached with the shmat() call the hugetlb pages are getting reserved incorrectly for SHM_HUGETLB shared memory created with SHM_NORESERVE which is a bug. ------------------------------- Following test shows the issue. $cat shmhtb.c int main() { int shmflags = 0660 | IPC_CREAT | SHM_HUGETLB | SHM_NORESERVE; int shmid; shmid = shmget(SKEY, SHMSZ, shmflags); if (shmid < 0) { printf("shmat: shmget() failed, %d\n", errno); return 1; } printf("After shmget()\n"); system("cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i hugepages_"); shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); printf("\nAfter shmat()\n"); system("cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i hugepages_"); shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL); return 0; } #sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=20 #./shmhtb After shmget() HugePages_Total: 20 HugePages_Free: 20 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 After shmat() HugePages_Total: 20 HugePages_Free: 20 HugePages_Rsvd: 5 <-- HugePages_Surp: 0 -------------------------------- Fix is to ensure that hugetlb pages are not reserved for SHM_HUGETLB shared memory in the shmat() call.
