[PATCH] Hugetlb pages should not be reserved by shmat() if SHM_NORESERVE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For shared memory of type SHM_HUGETLB, hugetlb pages are reserved in
shmget() call. If SHM_NORESERVE flags is specified then the hugetlb
pages are not reserved. However when the shared memory is attached
with the shmat() call the hugetlb pages are getting reserved incorrectly
for SHM_HUGETLB shared memory created with SHM_NORESERVE.

Ensure that the hugetlb pages are no reserved for SHM_HUGETLB shared
memory in the shmat() call.
