4 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/mmap.c: do not blow on PROT_NONE MAP_FIXED holes in
7 Commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") has
8 introduced a regression in some rust and Java environments which are
9 trying to implement their own stack guard page. They are punching a new
10 MAP_FIXED mapping inside the existing stack Vma.
12 This will confuse expand_{downwards,upwards} into thinking that the
13 stack expansion would in fact get us too close to an existing non-stack
14 vma which is a correct behavior wrt safety. It is a real regression on
17 Let's work around the problem by considering PROT_NONE mapping as a part
18 of the stack. This is a gros hack but overflowing to such a mapping
19 would trap anyway an we only can hope that usespace knows what it is
20 doing and handle it propely.
22 Fixes: 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas")
