Hugetlbfs implements a quota system which can limit the amount of memory that can be used by the filesystem. Before allocating a new huge page for a file, the quota is checked and debited. The quota is then credited when truncating the file. I found a few bugs in the code for both MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED mappings. Before detailing the problems and my proposed solutions, we should agree on a definition of quotas that properly addresses both private and shared pages. Since the purpose of quotas is to limit total memory consumption on a per-filesystem basis, I argue that all pages allocated by the fs (private and shared) should be charged against quota. Private Mappings ================ The current code will debit quota for private pages sometimes, but will never credit it. At a minimum, this causes a leak in the quota accounting which renders the accounting essentially useless as it is. Shared pages have a one to one mapping with a hugetlbfs file and are easy to account by debiting on allocation and crediting on truncate. Private pages are anonymous in nature and have a many to one relationship with their hugetlbfs files (due to copy on write). Because private pages are not indexed by the mapping's radix tree, thier quota cannot be credited at file truncation time. Crediting must be done when the page is unmapped and freed. Shared Pages ============ I discovered an issue concerning the interaction between the MAP_SHARED reservation system and quotas. Since quota is not checked until page instantiation, an over-quota mmap/reservation will initially succeed. When instantiating the first over-quota page, the program will receive SIGBUS. This is inconsistent since the reservation is supposed to be a guarantee. The solution is to debit the full amount of quota at reservation time and credit the unused portion when the reservation is released. This patch series brings quotas back in line by making the following modifications: * Private pages - Debit quota in alloc_huge_page() - Credit quota in free_huge_page() * Shared pages - Debit quota for entire reservation at mmap time - Credit quota for instantiated pages in free_huge_page() - Credit quota for unused reservation at munmap time This patch: The shared page reservation and dynamic pool resizing features have made the allocation of private vs. shared huge pages quite different. By splitting out the private/shared-specific portions of the process into their own functions, readability is greatly improved. alloc_huge_page now calls the proper helper and performs common operations.
