Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] fork: Remove assumption that vm_area->nr_pages equals to THREAD_SIZE
Date: Wed, 07 May 2025 14:46:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250507-fork-fixes-v2-3-82ab1e42cde3@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250507-fork-fixes-v2-0-82ab1e42cde3@linaro.org>

From: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

In many places number of pages in the stack is detremined via
(THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE). There is also a BUG_ON() that ensures that
(THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE) is indeed equal to vm_area->nr_pages.

Consistently use vm_area->nr_pages to determine the actual number
of pages allocated in the stack instead, so it is clear what is
going on here.

The assignment of a local variable nr_pages in
memcg_charge_kernel_stack() takes roughly the same amount of time
as the BUG() assertion, and the two other sites arguably should
have had a BUG() assertion as well.
