Do we need to check against VM_SPECIAL ?
I think you're right. mlock/mlock2 already checks and doesn't set VM_LOCKED if
VM_SPECIAL is set:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.2/mm/mlock.c#L519-L533
/*
* mlock_fixup - handle mlock[all]/munlock[all] requests.
*
* Filters out "special" vmas -- VM_LOCKED never gets set for these, and
* munlock is a no-op. However, for some special vmas, we go ahead and
* populate the ptes.
*
* For vmas that pass the filters, merge/split as appropriate.
*/
static int mlock_fixup(struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct vm_area_struct **prev,
unsigned long start, unsigned long end, vm_flags_t newflags)
{
struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm;
pgoff_t pgoff;
int nr_pages;
int ret = 0;
int lock = !!(newflags & VM_LOCKED);
vm_flags_t old_flags = vma->vm_flags;
if (newflags == vma->vm_flags || (vma->vm_flags & VM_SPECIAL) ||
is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) || vma == get_gate_vma(current->mm) ||
vma_is_dax(vma))
/* don't set VM_LOCKED or VM_LOCKONFAULT and don't count */
goto out;
I got thrown off by this check
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.2/mm/swap.c#L454-L469
void lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable(struct page *page,
struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageLRU(page), page);
if (likely((vma->vm_flags & (VM_LOCKED | VM_SPECIAL)) != VM_LOCKED))
SetPageActive(page);
else if (!TestSetPageMlocked(page)) {
/*
* We use the irq-unsafe __mod_zone_page_stat because this
* counter is not modified from interrupt context, and the pte
* lock is held(spinlock), which implies preemption disabled.
*/
__mod_zone_page_state(page_zone(page), NR_MLOCK,
hpage_nr_pages(page));
count_vm_event(UNEVICTABLE_PGMLOCKED);
I'll remove VM_SPECIAL and re-submit.
