2.4.10
In do_mmap_pgoff() :
422 addr = get_unmapped_area(file, addr, len, pgoff, flags);
423 if (addr & ~PAGE_MASK)
424 return addr;
in get_unmapped_area() :
621 if (flags & MAP_FIXED) {
622 if (addr > TASK_SIZE - len)
623 return -EINVAL;
624 if (addr & ~PAGE_MASK)
625 return -EINVAL;
626 return addr;
627 }
So it seems that if we hit the first case (addr > TASK_SIZE - len),
we don't return with EINVAL immediately. This code is a little weird anyway.
Is this a bug ?
Also, what's the reason for :
405 if ((len = PAGE_ALIGN(len)) == 0)
406 return addr;
Also, shouldn't calc_vm_flags() mention MAP_LOCKED and the others specifically ?
The current "oh, it happens to be the same value" is distinctly non-obvious to me.
Also, why do several (all ?) of the do_mmap2()s do this :
51 flags &= ~(MAP_EXECUTABLE | MAP_DENYWRITE);
Is it something to do with mm->def_flags ?
thanks
