Subject: [PATCH 0/1] mm/gup_benchmark: fix MAP_HUGETLB case
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2019 14:24:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191021212435.398153-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
Hi,
Here's another gup_benchmark.c fix, which I ran into while adding
support for the upcoming FOLL_PIN work. Anyway, the problem is
clearly described in the patch commit description, and the fix seems
like the best way to me, but the fix is not *completely* black and
white.
This fix forces MAP_ANONYMOUS for the MAP_HUGETLB case. However,
another way to do it might be to mmap() against a valid hugetlb
page file, instead of /dev/zero. But that seems like a lot of
trouble and if I'm reading the intent correctly, MAP_ANONYMOUS
is what's desired anyway.
