>Description:
page loaning code doesn't handle wired pages properly.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile and run the following source.
% cc a.c
% ./a.out /dev/zero|cat
and you'll see a panic.
(in this case, "pg->wire_count == 0" in uvm_loananon.)
----------
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *filename = "test";
int fd;
void *vp;
size_t mapsize;
if (argc > 1)
filename = argv[1];
fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0)
err(1, "open");
mapsize = 16*1024*1024;
vp = mmap(0, mapsize, PROT_READ, MAP_FILE|MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
if (vp == MAP_FAILED)
err(1, "mmap");
if (mlock(vp, mapsize))
err(1, "mlock");
if (write(STDOUT_FILENO, vp, mapsize) == -1)
err(1, "write");
}
----------
>Fix:
if the page is wired, copy it instead of loaning out?
