From the manual, to reset the name, the arg5 has to be NULL:
If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset.
Maybe we should change the name argument to Option<&CStr>?

I kinda think we should rename this function to set_vma_anon_name() so that it is consistent with the attribute name SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, though I do agree that set_addr_name is the clearer one.

Why are we using .unwrap_or_default() here

because of the comment above, the kernel might not support the feature.

Sorry about missing that!
Google search shows that this option is a C macro defined in the kernel code, and if it is not defined, then this prctl call would return EINVAL:
> +#else /* CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME */
> +static int prctl_set_vma(unsigned long opt, unsigned long start,
> + unsigned long size, unsigned long arg)
> +{
> + return -EINVAL;
> +}
> +#endif /* CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME */Seems that there is no explicit way to check if this option is set or not?

Looks like we should use null() here

No and in this case it does not really matter, this feature is more the "icing of top of cake" kind, so if it does not work it s just a no-op :) |
