mm/hugetlbfs: fix bugs in fallocate hole punch of areas with holes
Hugh Dickins pointed out problems with the new hugetlbfs fallocate hole punch code. These problems are in the routine remove_inode_hugepages and mostly occur in the case where there are holes in the range of pages to be removed. These holes could be the result of a previous hole punch or simply sparse allocation. The current code could access pages outside the specified range. remove_inode_hugepages handles both hole punch and truncate operations. Page index handling was fixed/cleaned up so that the loop index always matches the page being processed. The code now only makes a single pass through the range of pages as it was determined page faults could not race with truncate. A cond_resched() was added after removing up to PAGEVEC_SIZE pages. Some totally unnecessary code in hugetlbfs_fallocate() that remained from early development was also removed. Tested with fallocate tests submitted here: http://librelist.com/browser//libhugetlbfs/2015/6/25/patch-tests-add-tests-for-fallocate-system-call/ And, some ftruncate tests under development Fixes: b5cec28d ("hugetlbfs: truncate_hugepages() takes a range of pages") Signed-off-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: "Hillf Danton" <hillf.zj@alibaba-inc.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [4.3] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
