Actually, I think we can just get rid of min() line altogether. expand_stack checks to make sure the stack is getting bigger, otherwise it does nothing. We don't need to bother with this check. The below works for me on UML x86_64 and ppc64 64k and 4k pages. Mikey exec/fs: fix initial stack reservation 803bf5ec259941936262d10ecc84511b76a20921 (fs/exec.c: restrict initial stack space expansion to rlimit) attempts to limit the initial stack to 20*PAGE_SIZE. Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all. This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does this already. This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being killed.
