Subject: mm/mempolicy.c: fix checking unmapped holes for mbind
mbind() is required to report EFAULT if range, specified by addr and len,
contains unmapped holes. In current implementation, below rules are
applied for this checking:
1: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be reported
as EFAULT if mbind() for none MPOL_DEFAULT cases;
2: Unmapped holes at any part of the specified range should be ignored
(do not reprot EFAULT) if mbind() for MPOL_DEFAULT case;
3: The whole range in an unmapped hole should be reported as EFAULT;
Note that rule 2 does not fullfill the mbind() API definition, but since
that behavior has existed for long days (the internal flag
MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK is for this purpose), this patch does not plan to
change it.
In current code, application observed inconsistent behavior on rule 1 and
rule 2 respectively. That inconsistency is fixed as below details.
Cases of rule 1:
1) Hole at head side of range. Current code reprot EFAULT, no change by
this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
2) Hole at middle of range. Current code report EFAULT, no change by
this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
3) Hole at tail side of range. Current code do not report EFAULT, this
patch fix it.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
Cases of rule 2:
1) Hole at head side of range. Current code reprot EFAULT, this patch
fix it.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma ]
[ range ]
2) Hole at middle of range. Current code do not report EFAULT, no change
by this patch.
this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma]
[ range ]
3) Hole at tail side of range. Current code do not report EFAULT, no
change by this patch.
[ vma ][ hole ][ vma]
[ range ]
This patch has no changes to rule 3.
The unmapped hole checking can also be handled by using .pte_hole(),
instead of .test_walk(). But .pte_hole() is called for holes inside and
outside vma, which causes more cost, so this patch keeps the original
design with .test_walk().
