mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in walk_page_range()
Most callers of pmd_none_or_clear_bad() check whether the target page is in a hugepage or not, but walk_page_range() do not check it. So if we read /proc/pid/pagemap for the hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage memory is leaked as shown below. This patch fixes it. Details ======= My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows: - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,) - read()/write() something on it, - call page-types with option -p (walk around the page tables), - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs Without my patches ------------------ $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_pagemap [snip output] $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 900 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs/ $ 100 hugepages are accounted as used while there is no file on hugetlbfs. With my patches --------------- $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ./leak_pagemap [snip output] $ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage" HugePages_Total: 1000 HugePages_Free: 1000 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 HugePages_Surp: 0 $ ls /hugetlbfs $ No memory leaks.
