The error handling in hugetlb_allocate_area() was incorrect for the hugetlb_shared test case. Previously the behavior was: - mmap a hugetlb area - If this fails, set the pointer to NULL, and carry on - mmap an alias of the same hugetlb fd - If this fails, munmap the original area If the original mmap failed, it's likely the second one did too. If both failed, we'd blindly try to munmap a NULL pointer, causing a SIGSEGV. Instead, "goto fail" so we return before trying to mmap the alias. This issue can be hit "in real life" by forgetting to set /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages (leaving it at 0), and then trying to run the hugetlb_shared test. Another small improvement is, when the original mmap fails, don't just print "it failed": perror(), so we can see *why*. :) Signed-off-by: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd.c | 25 +++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd.c b/tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd.c index 9b0912a01777..c4425597769a 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd.c @@ -206,19 +206,19 @@ static int hugetlb_release_pages(char *rel_area) return ret; } - static void hugetlb_allocate_area(void **alloc_area) { void *area_alias = NULL; char **alloc_area_alias; + *alloc_area = mmap(NULL, nr_pages * page_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, (map_shared ?
