mm/fork: fix overflow in vma length when copying mmap on clone
The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int, which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond 16TB). The following program demonstrates this: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L #define EXTENT 16393 int main(void) { int i, r; void *m; char buf[1024]; for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) { m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0); if (m == (void *)-1) printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m); else printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m); r = fork(); if (r == 0) { printf("%d: successed\n", i); return 0; } else if (r < 0) printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r); else if (r > 0) wait(NULL); } return 0; } Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.
