Why also check VM_GROWSDOWN here (and VM_GROWSUP below)?
vm_start/end_gap() already have checks inside.

Could it be like this?

tmp = mas_next(&mas, ULONG_MAX);
if (tmp && vm_start_gap(tmp) < gap + length - 1) {
		low_limit = tmp->vm_end;
		mas_reset(&mas);
		goto retry;
	}
} else {
	tmp = mas_prev(&mas, 0);
	if (tmp && vm_end_gap(tmp) > gap) {
		low_limit = vm_end_gap(tmp);
		mas_reset(&mas);
		goto retry;
	}
}
