Subject: [15/71] Dont lock guardpage if the stack is growing up
2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@...ax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>
commit a09a79f66874c905af35d5bb5e5f2fdc7b6b894d upstream.
Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with
down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack
and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too.
This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with
up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and
when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch.
[ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the
grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and
share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.
Tested on ia64 that has both grow-up and grow-down segments - Linus ]
