This is because hint address < rnd_gap. I have tried to let mmap_base =
min((_addr + len), (base) + TASK_SIZE - DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW). However it
does not work for bottom-up while ulimit -s is unlimited. You said this
behavior is expected from patch v2 review. However it brings a new
regression even on sv39 systems.
I still don't know the reason why use addr+len as the upper-bound. I
think solution like x86/arm64/powerpc provide two address space switch
based on whether hint address above the default map window is enough.
Yep this is expected. It is up to the maintainers to decide.
Sorry I forgot to reply to this, I had a buffer sitting around
somewhere but I must have lost it.
I think Charlie's approach is the right way to go. Putting my
userspace hat on, I'd much rather have my allocations fail rather than
silently ignore the hint when there's memory pressure.
If there's some real use case that needs these low hints to be
silently ignored under VA pressure then we can try and figure
something out that makes those applications work.
I could confirm that this patch has broken chromium's partition
allocator on riscv64. The minimal reproduction I use is chromium-mmap.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main() {
void* expected = (void*)0x400000000;
void* addr = mmap(expected, 17179869184, PROT_NONE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (addr != expected) {
printf("Not expected address: %p != %p\n", addr, expected);
}
expected = (void*)0x3fffff000;
addr = mmap(expected, 17179873280, PROT_NONE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (addr != expected) {
printf("Not expected address: %p != %p\n", addr, expected);
}
return 0;
}
The second mmap fails with ENOMEM. Manually reverting this commit fixes
the issue for me. So I think it's clearly a regression and breaks
userspace.
