[LTP] [PATCH V4] madvice: new case for madvise(WILLNEED)

Li Wang liwang@redhat.com
Tue Apr 5 09:04:57 CEST 2016


Page fault occurs in spite that madvise(WILLNEED) system call is called
to prefetch the page. This issue is reproduced by running a program
which sequentially accesses to a shared memory and calls madvise(WILLNEED)
to the next page on a page fault.

Fixed by commit:
	55231e5c898 mm: madvise: fix MADV_WILLNEED on shmem swapouts

Notes:
    V3 --> V4
    * cancel the limitaion of architecture
      (test good on x86_64, ppc64 and s390x)

+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ *   Page fault occurs in spite that madvise(WILLNEED) system call is called
+ *   to prefetch the page. This issue is reproduced by running a program
+ *   which sequentially accesses to a shared memory and calls madvise(WILLNEED)
+ *   to the next page on a page fault.
+ *
+ *   This bug is present in all RHEL7 versions. It looks like this was fixed in
+ *   mainline kernel > v3.15 by the following patch:
