mm: softdirty: unmapped addresses between VMAs are clean
If a /proc/pid/pagemap read spans a [VMA, an unmapped region, then a VM_SOFTDIRTY VMA], the virtual pages in the unmapped region are reported as softdirty. Here's a program to demonstrate the bug: int main() { const uint64_t PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY = 1ul << 55; uint64_t pme[3]; int fd = open("/proc/self/pagemap", O_RDONLY);; char *m = mmap(NULL, 3 * getpagesize(), PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); munmap(m + getpagesize(), getpagesize()); pread(fd, pme, 24, (unsigned long) m / getpagesize() * 8); assert(pme[0] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY); /* passes */ assert(!(pme[1] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY)); /* fails */ assert(pme[2] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY); /* passes */ return 0; } (Note that all pages in new VMAs are softdirty until cleared). Tested: Used the program given above. I'm going to include this code in a selftest in the future.
