[LTP] [PATCH v3] Add a test case for mmap MAP_GROWSDOWN flag

Thu Aug 6 07:49:29 CEST 2020


We assign the memory region allocated using MAP_GROWSDOWN to a thread,
as a stack, to test the effect of MAP_GROWSDOWN. This is because the
kernel only grows the memory region when the stack pointer, is within
guard page, when the guard page is touched.

  1. Map an anyonymous memory region of size X, and unmap it.
  2. Split the unmapped memory region into two.
  3. The lower memory region is left unmapped.
  4. The higher memory region is mapped for use as stack, using MAP_FIXED | MAP_GROWSDOWN.
  5. The higher memory region is provided as stack to a thread, where
     a recursive function is invoked.
  6. The stack grows beyond the allocated region, into the lower memory area.
  7. If this results in the memory region being extended, into the
     unmapped region, the test is considered to have passed.

Resolves #300

Issue with s390x architecture:
 Writing on the unmapped pages results in page fault.

Changes from v2
1) Fixed check_stackgrows_up() function

Changes from v1
1) Fixed checkpatch and static missing error
2) Removed stack grows in mapped region testcase
