[PATCH RESEND 0/8] Fix mmap base in bottom-up mmap

[Alexandre Ghiti]

(Sorry for the previous interrupted series) 

This series fixes the fallback of the top-down mmap: in case of
failure, a bottom-up scheme can be tried as a last resort between
the top-down mmap base and the stack, hoping for a large unused stack
limit.

Lots of architectures and even mm code start this fallback
at TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE, which is useless since the top-down scheme
already failed on the whole address space: instead, simply use
mmap_base.

Along the way, it allows to get rid of of mmap_legacy_base and
mmap_compat_legacy_base from mm_struct.

Note that arm and mips already implement this behaviour.

Alexandre Ghiti (8):
  s390: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base
  sh: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base
  sparc: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base
  x86, hugetlbpage: Start fallback of top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base
  mm: Start fallback top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base

    mmap
  mm: Remove mmap_legacy_base and mmap_compat_legacy_code fields from
    mm_struct

I just tested your patch series successfully on the parisc
architeture. You may add:

Hi everyone,

Any thoughts about that series ? As said before, this is just a 
preparatory patchset in order to
merge x86 mmap top down code with the generic version.

Thanks for taking a look,

Alex

Hi everyone,

This is just a preparatory series for the merging of x86 mmap top-down 
functions with
the generic ones (those should get into v5.3), if you could take some 
time to take a look,
that would be great :)

Thanks,

Alex

[PATCH RESEND 0/8] Fix mmap base in bottom-up mmap

[Alexandre Ghiti]

This series fixes the fallback of the top-down mmap: in case of
failure, a bottom-up scheme can be tried as a last resort between
the top-down mmap base and the stack, hoping for a large unused stack
limit.

Lots of architectures and even mm code start this fallback
at TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE, which is useless since the top-down scheme
already failed on the whole address space: instead, simply use
mmap_base.

Along the way, it allows to get rid of of mmap_legacy_base and
mmap_compat_legacy_base from mm_struct.

Note that arm and mips already implement this behaviour.
