This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled userfaultfd/selftests: fix hugetlb area allocations to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: userfaultfd-selftests-fix-hugetlb-area-allocations.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4fa34242c1451b24c9b94a9e5292e00aca9b9ce3 Author: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 30 20:12:31 2021 -0800 userfaultfd/selftests: fix hugetlb area allocations [ Upstream commit f5c73297181c6b3ad76537bad98eaad6d29b9333 ] Currently, userfaultfd selftest for hugetlb as run from run_vmtests.sh or any environment where there are 'just enough' hugetlb pages will always fail with: testing events (fork, remap, remove): ERROR: UFFDIO_COPY error: -12 (errno=12, line=616) The ENOMEM error code implies there are not enough hugetlb pages. However, there are free hugetlb pages but they are all reserved. There is a basic problem with the way the test allocates hugetlb pages which has existed since the test was originally written. Due to the way 'cleanup' was done between different phases of the test, this issue was masked until recently. The issue was uncovered by commit 8ba6e8640844 ("userfaultfd/selftests: reinitialize test context in each test"). For the hugetlb test, src and dst areas are allocated as PRIVATE mappings of a hugetlb file. This means that at mmap time, pages are reserved for the src and dst areas. At the start of event testing (and other tests) the src area is populated which results in allocation of huge pages to fill the area and consumption of reserves associated with the area. Then, a child is forked to fault in the dst area. Note that the dst area was allocated in the parent and hence the parent owns the reserves associated with the mapping. The child has normal access to the dst area, but can not use the reserves created/owned by the parent. Thus, if there are no other huge pages available allocation of a page for the dst by the child will fail. Fix by not creating reserves for the dst area. In this way the child can use free (non-reserved) pages. Also, MAP_PRIVATE of a file only makes sense if you are interested in the contents of the file before making a COW copy. The test does not do this. So, just use MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB to create an anonymous hugetlb mapping. There is no need to create a hugetlb file in the non-shared case.
