mm: fix regression in remap_file_pages() emulation
Grazvydas Ignotas has reported a regression in remap_file_pages()
emulation.
Testcase:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define SIZE (4096 * 3)
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
unsigned long *p;
long i;
p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
return -1;
}
for (i = 0; i < SIZE / 4096; i++)
p[i * 4096 / sizeof(*p)] = i;
if (remap_file_pages(p, 4096, 0, 1, 0)) {
perror("remap_file_pages");
return -1;
}
if (remap_file_pages(p, 4096 * 2, 0, 1, 0)) {
perror("remap_file_pages");
return -1;
}
assert(p[0] == 1);
munmap(p, SIZE);
return 0;
}
The second remap_file_pages() fails with -EINVAL.
The reason is that remap_file_pages() emulation assumes that the target
vma covers whole area we want to over map. That assumption is broken by
first remap_file_pages() call: it split the area into two vma.
The solution is to check next adjacent vmas, if they map the same file
with the same flags.
Fixes: c8d78c1823f4 ("mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulation")
