Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: fix mlock accounting in perf_mmap()
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2020 15:45:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200117234503.1324050-1-songliubraving@fb.com> (raw)

sysctl_perf_event_mlock and user->locked_vm can change value
independently, so we can't guarantee:

    user->locked_vm <= user_lock_limit

When user->locked_vm is larger than user_lock_limit, we cannot simply
update extra and user_extra as:

    extra = user_locked - user_lock_limit;
    user_extra -= extra;

Otherwise, user_extra will be negative. In extreme cases, this may lead to
negative user->locked_vm (until this perf-mmap is closed), which break
locked_vm badly.

Fix this with two separate conditions, which make sure user_extra is
always positive.

Fixes: c4b75479741c ("perf/core: Make the mlock accounting simple again")
