From: Bob Liu <lliubbo@xxxxxxxxx>
On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak duirng shmem test.
The cause of this memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page
refcount to 2 which makes iput() can't free that pages.
The simple test file is like this:
int main(void)
{
int i;
key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);
for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
if (id == -1) {
printf("shmget error\n");
}
if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
printf("shm rm error\n");
return -1;
}
}
printf("run ok...\n");
return 0;
}
And the result:
