The MAP_HUGETLB ("-H" option) of gup_benchmark fails:
$ sudo ./gup_benchmark -H
mmap: Invalid argument
This is because gup_benchmark.c is passing in a file descriptor to
mmap(), but the fd came from opening up the /dev/zero file. This
confuses the mmap syscall implementation, which thinks that, if the
caller did not specify MAP_ANONYMOUS, then the file must be a huge page
file. So it attempts to verify that the file really is a huge page
file, as you can see here:
ksys_mmap_pgoff()
{
if (!(flags & MAP_ANONYMOUS)) {
retval = -EINVAL;
if (unlikely(flags & MAP_HUGETLB && !is_file_hugepages(file)))
goto out_fput; /* THIS IS WHERE WE END UP */
else if (flags & MAP_HUGETLB) {
...proceed normally, /dev/zero is ok here...
...and of course is_file_hugepages() returns "false" for the /dev/zero
file.
The problem is that the user space program, gup_benchmark.c, really just
wants anonymous memory here. The simplest way to get that is to pass
MAP_ANONYMOUS whenever MAP_HUGETLB is specified, so that's what this
patch does.
