Hi all,
Please find the below testcase provide to test mlock.
Test Case :
===========================
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd,ret, i = 0;
char *addr, *addr1 = NULL;
unsigned int page_size;
struct rlimit rlim;
if (0 != geteuid())
{
printf("Execute this pgm as root\n");
exit(1);
}
/* create a file */
if ((fd = open("mmap_test.c",O_RDWR|O_CREAT,0755)) == -1)
{
printf("cant create test file\n");
exit(1);
}
page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE);
/* set the MEMLOCK limit */
rlim.rlim_cur = 2000;
rlim.rlim_max = 2000;
if ((ret = setrlimit(RLIMIT_MEMLOCK,&rlim)) != 0)
{
printf("Cant change limit values\n");
exit(1);
}
addr = 0;
while (1)
{
/* map a page into memory each time*/
if ((addr = (char *) mmap(addr,page_size, PROT_READ |
PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,0)) == MAP_FAILED)
{
printf("cant do mmap on file\n");
exit(1);
}
if (0 == i)
addr1 = addr;
i++;
errno = 0;
/* lock the mapped memory pagewise*/
if ((ret = mlock((char *)addr, 1500)) == -1)
{
printf("errno value is %d\n", errno);
printf("cant lock maped region\n");
exit(1);
}
addr = addr + page_size;
}
}
======================================================
This testcase results with mlock failure with errno 14 that is EFAULT, but this
has been no where reported that mlock will give EFAULT, When i tested the same
on older kernel like 2.6.18, I got the correct result i.e errno 12 (ENOMEM).
I think in source code mlock(2), setting errno ENOMEM has been missed in
do_mlock() , on mlock_fixup() failure.
Let me know if my understanding is wrong!
Thanks,
Halesh
