Subject: mm, thp: fix incorrect unmap behavior for private pages
When truncating pagecache on file THP, the private pages of a process
should not be unmapped mapping. This incorrect behavior on a dynamic
shared libraries which will cause related processes to happen core dump.
A simple test for a DSO (Prerequisite is the DSO mapped in file THP):
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("open");
}
close(fd);
return 0;
}
The test only to open a target DSO, and do nothing. But this operation
will lead one or more process to happen core dump. This patch mainly to
fix this bug.
