linux-kernel -/proc/$pid/maps 中的 "deleted"是什么意思？

Question

我下载了 libhugetlbfs.so 并有一个简单的测试源:

int glbarr[1024*1024]={0} ;
int main()
{
    char * ptr ;
    ptr = (char *) malloc( 1024 * 1024 * 1 ) ;
    printf(" press any key to go on \n");
    getchar() ;
    for(int idx=0;idx<100;idx++){
        char strtmp[64] = {0} ;
        sprintf(strtmp,"%020d",idx) ;
        strcpy( ptr+1024*idx , strtmp ) ;
    } //for 
    for(int idx=0;idx<100;idx++){
        glbarr[idx] = idx ;
    }
    printf(" press any key to go on \n");
    getchar() ;
} // main

然后设置环境:

export LD_PRELOAD=libhugetlbfs.so
export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes
export HUGETLB_DEBUG=1

最后，执行test_malloc.exe:

和/proc/pidof test_malloc.exe/maps :

00400000-00600000 r-xp 00000000 00:2b 6019488                            /mnt/SharedMem_2M/libhugetlbfs.tmp.uI55WD (deleted)

numastat -m 显示真正使用了 8M 的大页面，困扰我的是“删除”在 map 输出中意味着什么？!在/mnt/SharedMem_2M 或/anon_hugepage 中

编辑:

和 map :

00600000 default file=/mnt/SharedMem_2M/libhugetlbfs.tmp.85Y41e\040(deleted) huge anon=1 dirty=1 N0=1 kernelpagesize_kB=2048

Answer 1

当 libhugetlbfs 使用 hugetlb fs 伪文件系统 (grep hugetlbfs/proc/filesystems) 来获取 hugetlb 页面支持的 mmap 时，临时文件删除(取消链接)是正常的。

比如libhugetlbfs/hugeutils.c中有hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd函数 https://github.com/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs/blob/e44180072b796c0e28e53c4d01ef6279caaa2a99/hugeutils.c#L1033

int hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd_for_size(long page_size)
{
    const char *path;
    char name[PATH_MAX+1];
    int fd;

    path = hugetlbfs_find_path_for_size(page_size);
    ..
    name[sizeof(name)-1] = '\0';

    strcpy(name, path);
    strncat(name, "/libhugetlbfs.tmp.XXXXXX", sizeof(name)-1);
    /* FIXME: deal with overflows */

    fd = mkstemp64(name);
    ....

    unlink(name);

    return fd;
}

临时文件名是在mkstemp函数中随机生成的；它还会创建文件并打开它。然后这个文件从文件系统中被取消链接(man 2 unlink)(文件名在目录中被标记为已删除，仍然有 inode 和文件数据，但其他程序不能通过名称访问这个文件)。

当打开未链接的fd 时，它可用于与hugetlb mmap 一起工作并存储数据。只有关闭这个fd，文件数据才会被fs真正删除。

经常使用 mktemp 文件的提前取消链接:When a file created with mkstemp() is deleted?

在libhugetlbfs项目的HOWTO中也可以列出一些有用的信息 https://github.com/libhugetlbfs/libhugetlbfs/blob/master/HOWTO
