From cb07c9a1864a8eac9f3123e428100d5b2a16e65a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 02:03:38 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] hugetlb: check for brk() entering a hugepage region Unlike mmap(), the codepath for brk() creates a vma without first checking that it doesn't touch a region exclusively reserved for hugepages. On powerpc, this can allow it to create a normal page vma in a hugepage region, causing oopses and other badness. Add a test to prevent this. With this patch, brk() will simply fail if it attempts to move the break into a hugepage reserved region.
