Subject: 2.6.28.4 regression: mmap fails if mlockall used
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2009 12:52:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090208105222.hj7zhcyxyqfjeobt@m.safari.iki.fi> (raw)

2.6.28.2 + gcc-4.3.2-7 works.
2.6.28.4 + gcc-4.4.0-0.16 does not work.
I run x86_64 SMP kernel.

# strace ./a.out ntp
12:10:14.780726 mmap(NULL, 2147624, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) <0.000038>
12:10:14.780809 close(3)                = 0 <0.000012>
12:10:14.780856 munmap(0x7f3476e0d000, 421232) = 0 <0.000145>
12:10:14.781054 write(2, "./a.out: getpwnam failed: Success\n"..., 34./a.out: getpwnam failed: Success
) = 34 <0.000015>

I can do malloc(3000000), then mmap call is
12:50:20.694207 mmap(NULL, 3002368, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f8a8d16b000 <0.003078>
