Subject[PATCH] userfaultfd/selftests: fix hugetlb area allocations
Date
Currently, userfaultfd selftest for hugetlb as run from run_vmtests.sh
or any environment where there are 'just enough' hugetlb pages will
always fail with:

testing events (fork, remap, remove):
ERROR: UFFDIO_COPY error: -12 (errno=12, line=616)

The ENOMEM error code implies there are not enough hugetlb pages.
However, there are free hugetlb pages but they are all reserved. There
is a basic problem with the way the test allocates hugetlb pages which
has existed since the test was originally written. Due to the way
'cleanup' was done between different phases of the test, this issue was
masked until recently. The issue was uncovered by commit 8ba6e8640844
("userfaultfd/selftests: reinitialize test context in each test").

For the hugetlb test, src and dst areas are allocated as PRIVATE mappings
of a hugetlb file. This means that at mmap time, pages are reserved for
the src and dst areas. At the start of event testing (and other tests)
the src area is populated which results in allocation of huge pages to
fill the area and consumption of reserves associated with the area.
Then, a child is forked to fault in the dst area. Note that the dst
area was allocated in the parent and hence the parent owns the reserves
associated with the mapping. The child has normal access to the dst area,
but can not use the reserves created/owned by the parent. Thus, if there
are no other huge pages available allocation of a page for the dst by
the child will fail.

Fix by not creating reserves for the dst area. In this way the child
can use free (non-reserved) pages.

Also, MAP_PRIVATE of a file only makes sense if you are interested in
the contents of the file before making a COW copy. The test does not do
this. So, just use MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB to create an anonymous
hugetlb mapping. There is no need to create a hugetlb file in the
non-shared case.
