When truncating pagecache on file THP, the private pages of a process should not be unmapped mapping. This incorrect behavior on a dynamic shared libraries which will cause related processes to happen core dump.
A simple test for a DSO (Prerequisite is the DSO mapped in file THP):
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd;
fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); }
close(fd); return 0; }
The test only to open a target DSO, and do nothing. But this operation will lead one or more process to happen core dump. This patch mainly to fix this bug.
