Subject: [PATCH 08/14] uprobes: kill copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap()
Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:22:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120729182236.GA20342@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120729182128.GA20269@redhat.com>
Kill copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap(new_vma), it is absolutely wrong.
This new_vma was just initialized to represent the new unmapped area,
[vm_start, vm_end) was returned by get_unmapped_area() in the caller.
This means that uprobe_mmap()->get_user_pages() will fail for sure,
simply because find_vma() can never succeed. And I verified that
sys_mremap()->mremap_to() indeed always fails with the wrong ENOMEM
code if [addr, addr+old_len] is probed.
And why this uprobe_mmap() was added? I believe the intent was wrong.
Note that the caller is going to do move_page_tables(), all registered
uprobes are already faulted in, we only change the virtual addresses.
NOTE: However, somehow we need to close the race with uprobe_register()
which relies on map_info->vaddr. This needs another fix I'll try to do
later. Probably we need uprobe_mmap() in move_vma() but we can not do
this right now, this can confuse uprobes_state.counter (which I still
hope we are going to kill).
