Currently, we use a page with mapped count 1 in page cache for cow optimization. If we find this condition, we don't allocate a new page and copy contents. Instead, we map this page directly. This may introduce a problem that writting to private mapping overwrite hugetlb file directly. You can find this situation with following code. size = 20 * MB; flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } p[0] = 's'; fprintf(stdout, "BEFORE STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]); munmap(p, size); flag = MAP_PRIVATE; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } p[0] = 'c'; munmap(p, size); flag = MAP_SHARED; p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flag, fd, 0); if (p == MAP_FAILED) { fprintf(stderr, "mmap() failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); return -1; } fprintf(stdout, "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: %c\n", p[0]); munmap(p, size); We can see that "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: c", not "AFTER STEAL PRIVATE WRITE: s". If we turn off this optimization to a page in page cache, the problem is disappeared. So, I change the trigger condition of optimization. If this page is not AnonPage, we don't do optimization. This makes this optimization turning off for a page cache.
