Subject: mm: hugetlb pages should not be reserved by shmat() if SHM_NORESERVE
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 12:04:42 -0800
For shared memory of type SHM_HUGETLB, hugetlb pages are reserved in
shmget() call. If SHM_NORESERVE flags is specified then the hugetlb pages
are not reserved. However when the shared memory is attached with the
shmat() call the hugetlb pages are getting reserved incorrectly for
SHM_HUGETLB shared memory created with SHM_NORESERVE which is a bug.
-------------------------------
Following test shows the issue.
$cat shmhtb.c
int main()
{
int shmflags = 0660 | IPC_CREAT | SHM_HUGETLB | SHM_NORESERVE;
int shmid;
shmid = shmget(SKEY, SHMSZ, shmflags);
if (shmid < 0)
{
printf("shmat: shmget() failed, %d\n", errno);
return 1;
}
printf("After shmget()\n");
system("cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i hugepages_");
shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
printf("\nAfter shmat()\n");
system("cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i hugepages_");
shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL);
return 0;
}
#sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=20
#./shmhtb
After shmget()
HugePages_Total: 20
HugePages_Free: 20
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
After shmat()
HugePages_Total: 20
HugePages_Free: 20
HugePages_Rsvd: 5 <--
HugePages_Surp: 0
--------------------------------
Fix is to ensure that hugetlb pages are not reserved for SHM_HUGETLB shared
memory in the shmat() call.
