[LTP] [Patch] Fix mtest06 failure: caught unexpected signal - 11 --- exiting

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1342 bytes --]

In mtest06/mmap1.c, when handling the signal 11 in sig_handler, it doesn't cover another two race conditions:
one is si_code equals "SEGV_MAPERR" but si_address does not equal to map_address;
and one is si_code equals to "SEGV_ACCERR"; see below error log:

<<<test_start>>>
tag=mtest06 stime=1270902396
cmdline="  mmap1 -x 0.05"
contacts=""
analysis=exit
initiation_status="ok"
<<<test_output>>>

......

mmap1       0  INFO  :  page fault occurred at 0x48002000
caught unexpected signal - 11 --- exiting
<<<execution_status>>>
duration=1 termination_type=exited termination_id=255 corefile=no
cutime=0 cstime=4
<<<test_end>>>

After cover all the three race conditions in one case in sig_handler(), run mtest06 repeatedly, test will not fail by catching signal 11.

See attached patch.

Thanks,
Renxiu

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix sig_handler() for SIGSEGV in mmap1.c

"mtest06" is aimed at stressing the memory manager by simultanious
map/unmap/read by light weight processes; it tries to handle
SIGSEGV signal in sig_handler instead of doing synchronizations
between read and write threads; two more race conditions are
not covered: one is si_code equals "SEGV_MAPERR" but si_address
does not equal to map_address; the other is si_code equals to
"SEGV_ACCERR"; try to cover the three conditions in one case
to reduce the complexity.
