SIGBUS accessing MAP_HUGETLB space w/ nr_overcommit == 0

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

 



I switched a system from Linux 3.5 to 3.9.4, and I have some crashes
that I didn't have before.  The cause is a SIGBUS w/ code BUS_ADRERR
on what I presume is the first access to a MAP_HUGETLB | MAP_PRIVATE
page.  I have nr_overcommit_hugepages == 0, so this shouldn't happen.
There are no kernel log messages at all.

Is there possibly a regression here?  Nothing seems to be asserting
any invariants with respect to the freelist size and the number of
accounted free hugepages.

I do not have CONFIG_CGROUP_HUGETLB set.

Thanks,
Andy
