And as for what userspace did, I attach the reproducer below. It's simply doing mbind(mode=MPOL_BIND, flags=MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL) on random address/length/node. What I did to trigger the bug is like below: while true ; do dd if=/dev/urandom of=testfile bs=4096 count=1000 for i in $(seq 10) ; do ./mbind_bug_reproducer testfile > /dev/null & done sleep 3 pkill -SIGUSR1 -f mbind_bug_reproducer done mbind_bug_reproducer.c --- #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <numa.h> #include <numaif.h> #include <fcntl.h> #define ADDR_INPUT 0x700000000000 #define PS 4096 #define err(x) perror(x),exit(EXIT_FAILURE) #define errmsg(x, ...) fprintf(stderr, x, ##__VA_ARGS__),exit(EXIT_FAILURE) int flag = 1; void sig_handle_flag(int signo) { flag = 0; } void set_new_nodes(struct bitmask *mask, unsigned long node) { numa_bitmask_clearall(mask); numa_bitmask_setbit(mask, node); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int nr = 1000; int fd = -1; char *pfile; struct timeval tv; struct bitmask *nodes; unsigned long nr_nodes; unsigned long memsize = nr * PS; nr_nodes = numa_max_node() + 1; /* numa_num_possible_nodes(); */ nodes = numa_bitmask_alloc(nr_nodes); if (nr_nodes < 2) errmsg("A minimum of 2 nodes is required for this test.\n"); gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); srandom(tv.tv_usec); fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR, S_IRWXU); if (fd < 0) err("open"); pfile = mmap((void *)ADDR_INPUT, memsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (pfile == (void*)-1L) err("mmap"); signal(SIGUSR1, sig_handle_flag); while (flag) { int node; unsigned long offset; unsigned long length; memset(pfile, 'a', memsize); node = random() % nr_nodes; set_new_nodes(nodes, random() & nr_nodes); offset = (random() % nr) * PS; length = (random() % (nr - offset/PS)) * PS; printf("[%d] node:%x, offset:%x, length:%x\n", getpid(), node, offset, length); mbind(pfile + offset, length, MPOL_BIND, nodes->maskp, nodes->size + 1, MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL); } munmap(pfile, memsize); return 0; } -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
