Subject: mm/mmap.c: do not blow on PROT_NONE MAP_FIXED holes in the stack
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac19501cc3f07bbaf8e2b0ae5824387dedf7f9f3;p=pandora-kernel.git

mm/mmap.c: do not blow on PROT_NONE MAP_FIXED holes in the stack

commit 561b5e0709e4a248c67d024d4d94b6e31e3edf2f upstream.

Commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") has
introduced a regression in some rust and Java environments which are
trying to implement their own stack guard page.  They are punching a new
MAP_FIXED mapping inside the existing stack Vma.

This will confuse expand_{downwards,upwards} into thinking that the
stack expansion would in fact get us too close to an existing non-stack
vma which is a correct behavior wrt safety.  It is a real regression on
the other hand.

Let's work around the problem by considering PROT_NONE mapping as a part
of the stack.  This is a gros hack but overflowing to such a mapping
would trap anyway an we only can hope that usespace knows what it is
doing and handle it propely.
