[RFC PATCH 1/5] mm: mremap: Fix new_addr being used as a hint with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP

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

 



Two non-mutually exclusive paths can land in mremap_to, MREMAP_FIXED
and MREMAP_DONTUNMAP which are called from mremap(). In the case of
MREMAP_FIXED we must validate the new_addr to ensure that the new
address is valid. In the case of MREMAP_DONTUNMAP without MREMAP_FIXED
a new address is specified as a hint, just like it would be in the
case of mmap. In this second case we don't need to perform any checks
because get_unmapped_area() will align new_addr, just like it would in
the case of mmap.

This patch only fixes the behavior that was inadvertently added
with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP.

v2:
  - Addressed comment from Marco Vanotti to consolidate these checks
    into existing MREMAP_FIXED blocks.
