Use the BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag to govern whether or not we should be trying to map a file directly. This can be used to determine whether or not a region has been filled in at the point where we call do_mmap_shared() or do_mmap_private(). The BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag is cleared by validate_mmap_request() if there's any reason we can't use it. It's also cleared in do_mmap_pgoff() if f_op->get_unmapped_area() fails. Without this fix, attempting to run a program from a RomFS image on a non-mappable MTD partition results in a BUG as the kernel attempts XIP, and this can be caught in gdb: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=) at mm/nommu.c:547 (gdb) bt #0 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=) at mm/nommu.c:547 #1 0xc005f168 in do_mmap_pgoff (file=0xc31a6620, addr=, len=3808, prot=3, flags=6146, pgoff=0) at mm/nommu.c:1373 #2 0xc00a96b8 in elf_fdpic_map_file (params=0xc33fbbec, file=0xc31a6620, mm=0xc31bef60, what=0xc0213144 "executable") at mm.h:1145 #3 0xc00aa8b4 in load_elf_fdpic_binary (bprm=0xc316cb00, regs=) at fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c:343 #4 0xc006b588 in search_binary_handler (bprm=0x6, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1234 #5 0xc006c648 in do_execve (filename=, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1356 #6 0xc0008cf0 in sys_execve (name=, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460) at arch/frv/kernel/process.c:263 #7 0xc00075dc in __syscall_call () at arch/frv/kernel/entry.S:897 Note that this fix does the following commit differently: commit a190887b58c32d19c2eee007c5eb8faa970a69ba Author: David Howells Date: Sat Sep 5 11:17:07 2009 -0700 nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff() Reported-by: Graff Yang Signed-off-by: David Howells Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Paul Mundt Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Greg Ungerer --- mm/nommu.c | 34 ++++++++++++---------------------- 1 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/nommu.c b/mm/nommu.c index c459aec..cc24d9f 100644 --- a/mm/nommu.c +++ b/mm/nommu.c @@ -1074,7 +1074,7 @@ static int do_mmap_shared_file(struct vm_area_struct *vma) ret = vma->vm_file->f_op->mmap(vma->vm_file, vma); if (ret == 0) { vma->vm_region->vm_top = vma->vm_region->vm_end; - return ret; + return 0; } if (ret != -ENOSYS) return ret; @@ -1091,7 +1091,8 @@ static int do_mmap_shared_file(struct vm_area_struct *vma) */ static int do_mmap_private(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct vm_region *region, - unsigned long len) + unsigned long len, + unsigned long capabilities) { struct page *pages; unsigned long total, point, n, rlen; @@ -1102,13 +1103,13 @@ static int do_mmap_private(struct vm_area_struct *vma, * shared mappings on devices or memory * - VM_MAYSHARE will be set if it may attempt to share */ - if (vma->vm_file) { + if (capabilities & BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT) { ret = vma->vm_file->f_op->mmap(vma->vm_file, vma); if (ret == 0) { /* shouldn't return success if we're not sharing */ BUG_ON(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE)); vma->vm_region->vm_top = vma->vm_region->vm_end; - return ret; + return 0; } if (ret != -ENOSYS) return ret; @@ -1346,7 +1347,7 @@ unsigned long do_mmap_pgoff(struct file *file, * - this is the hook for quasi-memory character devices to * tell us the location of a shared mapping */ - if (file && file->f_op->get_unmapped_area) { + if (capabilities & BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT) { addr = file->f_op->get_unmapped_area(file, addr, len, pgoff, flags); if (IS_ERR((void *) addr)) { @@ -1370,15 +1371,17 @@ unsigned long do_mmap_pgoff(struct file *file, } vma->vm_region = region; - add_nommu_region(region); - /* set up the mapping */ + /* set up the mapping + * - the region is filled in if BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT is still set + */ if (file && vma->vm_flags & VM_SHARED) ret = do_mmap_shared_file(vma); else - ret = do_mmap_private(vma, region, len); + ret = do_mmap_private(vma, region, len, capabilities); if (ret < 0) - goto error_put_region; + goto error_just_free; + add_nommu_region(region); /* okay... we have a mapping; now we have to register it */ result = vma->vm_start; @@ -1396,19 +1399,6 @@ share: kleave(" = %lx", result); return result; -error_put_region: - __put_nommu_region(region); - if (vma) { - if (vma->vm_file) { - fput(vma->vm_file); - if (vma->vm_flags & VM_EXECUTABLE) - removed_exe_file_vma(vma->vm_mm); - } - kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma); - } - kleave(" = %d [pr]", ret); - return ret; - error_just_free: up_write(&nommu_region_sem); error: -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
