Subject: mm: make stack guard page logic use vm_prev pointer
X-Git-Tag: accepted/tizen/common/20141203.182822~10315
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e8e50e20c837eeec8323bba7dcd25fe5479194c;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-arm64.git

mm: make stack guard page logic use vm_prev pointer

Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check
code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack
is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma().

Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if
you split the stack with mlock or mprotect.
