generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() was returning an address less than mmap_min_addr if the mmap argument addr, after alignment, was less than mmap_min_addr, causing mmap to fail. This is because current generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() code does not take into account mmap_min_addr. This patch ensures that generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() always returns an address that is greater than mmap_min_addr. Additionally, similar to generic_get_unmapped_area(), vm_end_gap() checks are included to ensure that the address is within the limit. How to reproduce ================ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <unistd.h> #define HUGEPAGE_SIZE (16 * 1024 * 1024) int main() { void *addr = mmap((void *)-1, HUGEPAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } snprintf((char *)addr, HUGEPAGE_SIZE, "Hello, Huge Pages!"); printf("%s\n", (char *)addr); if (munmap(addr, HUGEPAGE_SIZE) == -1) { perror("munmap"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } return 0; } Result without fix ================== # cat /proc/meminfo |grep -i HugePages_Free HugePages_Free: 20 # ./test mmap: Permission denied # Result with fix =============== # cat /proc/meminfo |grep -i HugePages_Free HugePages_Free: 20 # ./test Hello, Huge Pages! # V2: Added vm_end_gap() check.
