From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> set_mempolicy_home_node tries to duplicate a memory policy before checking it whether it is applicable for the operation. There is no real reason for doing that and it might actually be a pointless memory allocation and deallocation exercise for MPOL_INTERLEAVE. Not a big problem but we can do better. Simply check the policy before acting on it. [ Mathieu: compile-tested only. Tested-by would be welcome. ] Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-api@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx --- mm/mempolicy.c | 28 ++++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/mempolicy.c b/mm/mempolicy.c index 02c8a712282f..becf41e10076 100644 --- a/mm/mempolicy.c +++ b/mm/mempolicy.c @@ -1489,7 +1489,7 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE4(set_mempolicy_home_node, unsigned long, start, unsigned long, le { struct mm_struct *mm = current->mm; struct vm_area_struct *vma; - struct mempolicy *new; + struct mempolicy *new, *old; unsigned long vmstart; unsigned long vmend; unsigned long end; @@ -1521,31 +1521,27 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE4(set_mempolicy_home_node, unsigned long, start, unsigned long, le return 0; mmap_write_lock(mm); for_each_vma_range(vmi, vma, end) { - vmstart = max(start, vma->vm_start); - vmend = min(end, vma->vm_end); - new = mpol_dup(vma_policy(vma)); - if (IS_ERR(new)) { - err = PTR_ERR(new); - break; - } - /* - * Only update home node if there is an existing vma policy - */ - if (!new) - continue; - /* * If any vma in the range got policy other than MPOL_BIND * or MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY we return error.
