mmap: fix the usage of ->vm_pgoff in special_mapping paths
Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <assert.h> void *find_vdso_vaddr(void) { FILE *perl; char buf[32] = {}; perl = popen("perl -e 'open STDIN,qq|/proc/@{[getppid]}/maps|;" "/^(.*?)-.*vdso/ && print hex $1 while <>'", "r"); fread(buf, sizeof(buf), 1, perl); fclose(perl); return (void *)atol(buf); } #define PAGE_SIZE 4096 int main(void) { void *vdso = find_vdso_vaddr(); assert(vdso); // of course they should differ, and they do so far printf("vdso pages differ: %d\n", !!memcmp(vdso, vdso + PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE)); // split into 2 vma's assert(mprotect(vdso, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ) == 0); // force another fault on the next check assert(madvise(vdso, 2 * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_DONTNEED) == 0); // now they no longer differ, the 2nd vm_pgoff is wrong printf("vdso pages differ: %d\n", !!memcmp(vdso, vdso + PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE)); return 0; } Output: vdso pages differ: 1 vdso pages differ: 0 This is because split_vma() correctly updates ->vm_pgoff, but the logic in insert_vm_struct() and special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken, so the fault at vdso + PAGE_SIZE return the 1st page. The same happens if you simply unmap the 1st page. special_mapping_fault() does: pgoff = vmf->pgoff - vma->vm_pgoff; and this is _only_ correct if vma->vm_start mmaps the first page from ->vm_private_data array. vdso or any other user of install_special_mapping() is not anonymous, it has the "backing storage" even if it is just the array of pages. So we actually need to make vm_pgoff work as an offset in this array. Note: this also allows to fix another problem: currently gdb can't access "[vvar]" memory because in this case special_mapping_fault() doesn't work. Now that we can use ->vm_pgoff we can implement ->access() and fix this. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.
