From b45043192b3e481304062938a6561da2ceea46a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuntao Wang ytcoode@gmail.com Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 21:04:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Fix excessive memory allocation in stack_map_alloc()
The 'n_buckets * (value_size + sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket))' part of the allocated memory for 'smap' is never used after the memlock accounting was removed, thus get rid of it.
[ Note, Daniel:
Commit b936ca643ade ("bpf: rework memlock-based memory accounting for maps") moved `cost += n_buckets * (value_size + sizeof(struct stack_map_bucket))` up and therefore before the bpf_map_area_alloc() allocation, sigh. In a later step commit c85d69135a91 ("bpf: move memory size checks to bpf_map_charge_init()"), and the overflow checks of `cost >= U32_MAX - PAGE_SIZE` moved into bpf_map_charge_init(). And then 370868107bf6 ("bpf: Eliminate rlimit-based memory accounting for stackmap maps") finally removed the bpf_map_charge_init(). Anyway, the original code did the allocation same way as /after/ this fix. ]
