Subject: [PATCH] mm/mmap: Tighten up cmdline_parse_stack_guard_gap()
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2023 10:52:12 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230828052212.748872-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)

Currently kernel command line 'stack_guard_gap=', which does not provide an
explicit pages gap value, still assigns 0 to 'stack_guard_gap', which would
not have been expected. In such cases it should just retain the default gap
value (DEFAULT_STACK_GUARD_GAP). Instead let's assert a positive value for
input gap pages before proceeding any further. While here, this tightens up
cmdline_parse_stack_guard_gap() for other scenarios, where the command line
parameter 'stack_guard_gap' is not successfully handled as expected.
