Subject: get_user_pages vs mmap MAP_FIXED bug
Date: Sun, 06 May 2007 17:01:16 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1178434876.12284.175.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
This bug is in 2.6.21-rc7-mm2, but not 2.6.21. Haven't tested
2.6.21-mm1 yet.
The following kernel module uses get_user_pages() to look at user
memory, and gets zeroed pages if they're not touched by userspace first.
The test case seems a little sensitive to change (eg. mapping at a
non-fixed address seems to work).
Usage:
(build kernel)
gcc -o examine_mmap examine_mmap.c
sudo insmod kernel/examiner.ko
sudo ./examine_mmap
examine_mmap: For 0x1000: kernel sees 0, I see 1179403647
sudo ./examine_mmap --touch
OK: Both saw 1179403647
Anyone?
Rusty.
