[PATCH 2/2] execve: check the VM has enough memory at first

From: KOSAKI Motohiro
Date: Thu Sep 09 2010 - 01:04:53 EST


Now, Argv size of execve are limited by STACK_LIMIT/4. In other
words, If we are setting 'ulimit -s unlimited', we've lost any
guard of argv size.

More unfortunately, current argv setup logic is bypassing the VM
overcommitment check unintentionally. because current overcommitment
check don't care gradually increased stack.
therefore, wrong argument of execve() easily makes OOM instead
execve() failure. that's bad.

After this patch, execve() expand stack at first and receive to
check vm_enough_memory() properly. then, too long argument of
execve() than the machine memory return EFAULT properly.

Note, almost all user are using OVERCOMMIT_GUESS overcommit mode
(because it's default). It provide only guess. It doesn't works
perfectly on some case. However usually execve() failure is better
than OOM-killer and swap-storm compbination.
