Hi Mike,
fixing the null dereference was easy, but I continued running
into a test case failure with linkhuge_rw. After tweaking the
code in my patches quite a few times, I finally ran out of
ideas and tried it on a tree without my patches.
I still see the test failure on upstream
2cf0f7156238 ("Merge tag 'nfs-for-6.6-2' of git://git.linux-
nfs.org/projects/anna/linux-nfs")
This is with a modern glibc, and the __morecore assignments
in libhugetlbfs/morecore.c commented out.
HUGETLB_ELFMAP=R HUGETLB_SHARE=1 linkhuge_rw (2M: 32): Pool state:
(('hugepages-2048kB', (('free_hugepages', 1), ('resv_hugepages', 0),
('surplus_hugepages', 0), ('nr_hugepages_mempolicy', 1),
('nr_hugepages', 1), ('nr_overcommit_hugepages', 0))),)
Hugepage pool state not preserved!
BEFORE: (('hugepages-2048kB', (('free_hugepages', 1),
('resv_hugepages', 0), ('surplus_hugepages', 0),
('nr_hugepages_mempolicy', 1), ('nr_hugepages', 1),
('nr_overcommit_hugepages', 0))),)
AFTER: (('hugepages-2048kB', (('free_hugepages', 0), ('resv_hugepages',
0), ('surplus_hugepages', 0), ('nr_hugepages_mempolicy', 1),
('nr_hugepages', 1), ('nr_overcommit_hugepages', 0))),)
It may take a little while to figure this one out. I did some
bpftracing, but don't have a real smoking gun yet. The trace
certainly shows the last user of the leaked huge page going
into __unmap_hugepage_range.
