The MAP_HUGETLB ("-H" option) of gup_benchmark fails: $ sudo ./gup_benchmark -H mmap: Invalid argument This is because gup_benchmark.c is passing in a file descriptor to mmap(), but the fd came from opening up the /dev/zero file. This confuses the mmap syscall implementation, which thinks that, if the caller did not specify MAP_ANONYMOUS, then the file must be a huge page file. So it attempts to verify that the file really is a huge page file, as you can see here: ksys_mmap_pgoff() { if (!(flags & MAP_ANONYMOUS)) { retval = -EINVAL; if (unlikely(flags & MAP_HUGETLB && !is_file_hugepages(file))) goto out_fput; /* THIS IS WHERE WE END UP */ else if (flags & MAP_HUGETLB) { ...proceed normally, /dev/zero is ok here... ...and of course is_file_hugepages() returns "false" for the /dev/zero file. The problem is that the user space program, gup_benchmark.c, really just wants anonymous memory here. The simplest way to get that is to pass MAP_ANONYMOUS whenever MAP_HUGETLB is specified, so that's what this patch does.
