-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Adam Litke When expanding the stack, we don't currently check if the VMA will cross into an area of the address space that is reserved for hugetlb pages. Subsequent faults on the expanded portion of such a VMA will confuse the low-level MMU code, resulting in an OOPS. Check for this.
