[ Upstream commit 7162a1e87b3e380133dadc7909081bb70d0a7041 ]
Tetsuo Handa reported underflow of NR_MLOCK on munlock.
Testcase:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define BASE ((void *)0x400000000000)
#define SIZE (1UL << 21)
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
void *addr;
system("grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo");
addr = mmap(BASE, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_LOCKED | MAP_FIXED,
-1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
printf("mmap() failed\n"), exit(1);
munmap(addr, SIZE);
system("grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo");
return 0;
}
It happens on munlock_vma_page() due to unfortunate choice of nr_pages
data type:
__mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_MLOCK, -nr_pages);
For unsigned int nr_pages, implicitly casted to long in
__mod_zone_page_state(), it becomes something around UINT_MAX.
munlock_vma_page() usually called for THP as small pages go though
pagevec.
Let's make nr_pages signed int.
Similar fixes in 6cdb18ad98a4 ("mm/vmstat: fix overflow in
mod_zone_page_state()") used `long' type, but `int' here is OK for a
count of the number of sub-pages in a huge page.
Fixes: ff6a6da60b89 ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP pages")
