Subject: [097/101] vm: fix vm_pgoff wrap in stack expansion

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

commit a626ca6a656450e9f4df91d0dda238fff23285f4 upstream.

Commit 982134ba6261 ("mm: avoid wrapping vm_pgoff in mremap()") fixed
the case of a expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you used
mremap.  But there was another case where we expand mappings hiding in
plain sight: the automatic stack expansion.

This fixes that case too.

This one also found by Robert Święcki, using his nasty system call
fuzzer tool.  Good job.
