Package: valgrind Severity: normal I tried on version 1:3.5.0-3, and it does work for me.
This is my test program: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <sys/mman.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { void *someMem = malloc(10000); void *aligned = (void*)((long)someMem & ~4095L); ((char*)aligned)[1000] = 'H'; void *remapedPtr = mremap(aligned, 4096, 1024 * 512, MREMAP_MAYMOVE); printf("%smoved : %lx -> %lx : %c\n", (remapedPtr == aligned)? "not ": "", aligned, remapedPtr, ((char*)remapedPtr)[1000]); ((char*)remapedPtr)[25000] = 'K'; void *backToAligned = mremap(remapedPtr, 1024 * 512, 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED, aligned); printf("%smoved back : %lx -> %lx : %c\n", (backToAligned == aligned)? "": "not ", remapedPtr, backToAligned, ((char*)backToAligned)[1000]); free(someMem); return 0; } And this is the valgrind result: w...@celine:~/debian-fix/valgrind-test% valgrind ./mremap ==11380== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==11380== Copyright (C) 2002-2009, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==11380== Using Valgrind-3.5.0-Debian and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==11380== Command: ./mremap ==11380== moved : 517a000 -> 4045000 : H moved back : 4045000 -> 517a000 : H ==11380== ==11380== HEAP SUMMARY: ==11380== in use at exit: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==11380== total heap usage: 1 allocs, 1 frees, 10,000 bytes allocated ==11380== ==11380== All heap blocks were freed -- no leaks are possible ==11380== ==11380== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v ==11380== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 4 from 4) w...@celine:~/debian-fix/valgrind-test% Do you have a small example that will reproduce the problem ?
