[dpdk-dev] Questions about mmap in Asan APP

[dpdk-dev] Questions about mmap in Asan APP

[Min Hu (Connor)]

Hi, Jonas Pfefferle and all,
	I met one questions:
	When I ran APP on Kasan OS, secondary process occasionally init
failed.

BTW:
testpmd is built with Asan, that is to add "CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address 
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -pthread"".
Kasan OS is what opens this:
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_KASAN=y

The PRIMARY process APP(testpmd) log:

"EAL: WARNING! Base virtual address hint (0xd01061000 != 0xfffb89e00000)

"EAL: Cannot get a virtual area at requested address: 0xfffba6000000 
(got 0xfffb8ae3b000)" should be noticed.

According to my analysis, the reason is that the system call "mmap"
return the address which is different with the hint address(first
parameter). That is to say：
return_addr = mmap(void* start,size_t length,int prot,int flags,int
fd,off_t offset);
return_addr and start is different.

Why this happened? I guess Asan works based on shadow memory, shadow
memory will occupy the memory zone and it cannot be one for mmap.
So, it the shadow memory happens to be in the range of mmap region,
mmap will return a new address which is free(not occupied by shadow).

BTW，I think DPDK multiple process is not supported in that situation,
such as "Asan APP on Kasan OS".

What is your opinion? any will weclome, thanks.

	Best regards.

Secondary process mapping is fragile.
I am not surprised there are more issues when enabling
some kernel features playing with memory ranges.
You may try to find more hints to make it work,
but it is OK stating this scenario is not supported.

Another outcome to this trial could be to document the limitation
in DPDK documentation for Linux.

Thanks
