The madvise_behavior_valid() function should be called before acting upon the behavior parameter. Hence move up the function. This also includes MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON options as valid behavior parameter for the system call madvise(). Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in V3: Moved the madvise_inject_error() function down which will make sure that the boundary conditions are checked for address and length arguments as per Naoya. Changes in V2: Added CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE check before using MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISONE constants. mm/madvise.c | 13 +++++++++---- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/madvise.c b/mm/madvise.c index efd4721..721dd6f 100644 --- a/mm/madvise.c +++ b/mm/madvise.c @@ -694,6 +694,10 @@ static int madvise_inject_error(int behavior, #endif case MADV_DONTDUMP: case MADV_DODUMP: +#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE + case MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE: + case MADV_HWPOISON: +#endif return true; default: @@ -767,10 +771,6 @@ static int madvise_inject_error(int behavior, size_t len; struct blk_plug plug; -#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE - if (behavior == MADV_HWPOISON || behavior == MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) - return madvise_inject_error(behavior, start, start + len_in); -#endif if (!madvise_behavior_valid(behavior)) return error; @@ -790,6 +790,11 @@ static int madvise_inject_error(int behavior, if (end == start) return error; +#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE + if (behavior == MADV_HWPOISON || behavior == MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) + return madvise_inject_error(behavior, start, start + len_in); +#endif + write = madvise_need_mmap_write(behavior); if (write) { if (down_write_killable(¤t->mm->mmap_sem)) -- 1.8.5.2 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
