Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: Fix overflow check in expand_upwards()
Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2017 21:24:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170702192452.GA11868@p100.box> (raw)
Jörn Engel noticed that the expand_upwards() function might not return -ENOMEM
in case the requested address is (unsigned long)-PAGE_SIZE and if the
architecture didn't defined TASK_SIZE as multiple of PAGE_SIZE.
Affected architectures are arm, frv, m68k, blackfin, h8300 and xtensa which all
define TASK_SIZE as 0xffffffff, but since none of those have an upwards-growing
stack we currently have no actual issue.
Nevertheless let's fix this just in case any of the architectures with an
upward-growing stack (currently parisc, metag and partly ia64) define TASK_SIZE
similar.
