From 1c86c7f5c26dd0569df7afc23ee9866fb3f645dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2017 12:54:40 -0400 Subject: handle mremap failure in realloc of mmap-serviced allocations mremap seems to always fail on nommu, and on some non-Linux implementations of the Linux syscall API, it at least fails to increase allocation size, and may fail to move (i.e. defragment) the existing mapping when shrinking it too. instead of failing realloc or leaving an over-sized allocation that may waste a large amount of memory, fallback to malloc-memcpy-free if mremap fails. --- src/malloc/malloc.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/malloc') diff --git a/src/malloc/malloc.c b/src/malloc/malloc.c index c38c46fe..d5ee4280 100644 --- a/src/malloc/malloc.c +++ b/src/malloc/malloc.c @@ -406,7 +406,7 @@ void *realloc(void *p, size_t n) if (oldlen == newlen) return p; base = __mremap(base, oldlen, newlen, MREMAP_MAYMOVE); if (base == (void *)-1) - return newlen < oldlen ? p : 0; + goto copy_realloc; self = (void *)(base + extra); self->csize = newlen - extra; return CHUNK_TO_MEM(self); @@ -439,6 +439,7 @@ void *realloc(void *p, size_t n) return CHUNK_TO_MEM(self); } +copy_realloc: /* As a last resort, allocate a new chunk and copy to it. */ new = malloc(n-OVERHEAD); if (!new) return 0; -- cgit v1.2.1
