From 73219d178051691a56d57184d8c7f6d0cbe3c5c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wright Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 17:14:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] mmap topdown fix for large stack limit, large allocation The topdown changes in 2.6.12-rc1 can cause large allocations with large stack limit to fail, despite there being space available. The mmap_base-len is only valid when len >= mmap_base. However, nothing in topdown allocator checks this. It's only (now) caught at higher level, which will cause allocation to simply fail. The following change restores the fallback to bottom-up path, which will allow large allocations with large stack limit to potentially still succeed.
