From 9893e49d64a4874ea67849ee2cfbf3f3d6817573 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:50:17 +0200 Subject: HWPOISON: Add madvise() based injector for hardware poisoned pages v4 Impact: optional, useful for debugging Add a new madvice sub command to inject poison for some pages in a process' address space. This is useful for testing the poison page handling. This patch can allow root to tie up large amounts of memory. I got feedback from container developers and they didn't see any problem. v2: Use write flag for get_user_pages to make sure to always get a fresh page v3: Don't request write mapping (Fengguang Wu) v4: Move MADV_* number to avoid conflict with KSM (Hugh Dickins) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen --- mm/madvise.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+) (limited to 'mm') diff --git a/mm/madvise.c b/mm/madvise.c index 76eb4193acdd..8dbd38b8e4a4 100644 --- a/mm/madvise.c +++ b/mm/madvise.c @@ -207,6 +207,32 @@ static long madvise_remove(struct vm_area_struct *vma, return error; } +#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE +/* + * Error injection support for memory error handling. + */ +static int madvise_hwpoison(unsigned long start, unsigned long end) +{ + int ret = 0; + + if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) + return -EPERM; + for (; start < end; start += PAGE_SIZE) { + struct page *p; + int ret = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, start, 1, + 0, 0, &p, NULL); + if (ret != 1) + return ret; + printk(KERN_INFO "Injecting memory failure for page %lx at %lx\n", + page_to_pfn(p), start); + /* Ignore return value for now */ + __memory_failure(page_to_pfn(p), 0, 1); + put_page(p); + } + return ret; +} +#endif + static long madvise_vma(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct vm_area_struct **prev, unsigned long start, unsigned long end, int behavior) @@ -307,6 +333,10 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(madvise, unsigned long, start, size_t, len_in, int, behavior) int write; size_t len; +#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE + if (behavior == MADV_HWPOISON) + return madvise_hwpoison(start, start+len_in); +#endif if (!madvise_behavior_valid(behavior)) return error; -- cgit v1.2.1
