From ed19644d090c3e2162d5488594336ec43da23d38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2015 11:33:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Don't count the stack guard page towards RLIMIT_STACK commit 690eac53daff34169a4d74fc7bfbd388c4896abb upstream. Commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page") made sure that we return the error properly for stack growth conditions. It also theorized that counting the guard page towards the stack limit might break something, but also said "Let's see if anybody notices". Somebody did notice. Apparently android-x86 sets the stack limit very close to the limit indeed, and including the guard page in the rlimit check causes the android 'zygote' process problems. So this adds the (fairly trivial) code to make the stack rlimit check be against the actual real stack size, rather than the size of the vma that includes the guard page.
