From 32e4e6d5cbb0c0e427391635991fe65e17797af8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 15:49:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/mmap.c: expand_downwards: don't require the gap if !vm_prev expand_stack(vma) fails if address < stack_guard_gap even if there is no vma->vm_prev. I don't think this makes sense, and we didn't do this before the recent commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas"). We do not need a gap in this case, any address is fine as long as security_mmap_addr() doesn't object. This also simplifies the code, we know that address >= prev->vm_end and thus underflow is not possible.
