Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/vma: fix gap check for unmapped_area with VM_GROWSDOWN
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 07:55:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250127075527.16614-2-richard.weiyang@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250127075527.16614-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com>

Current unmapped_area() may fail to get the available area.

For example, we have a vma range like below:

    0123456789abcdef
      m  m  A m  m

Let's assume start_gap is 0x2000 and stack_guard_gap is 0x1000. And now
we are looking for free area with size 0x1000 within [0x2000, 0xd000].

The unmapped_area_topdown() could find address at 0x8000, while
unmapped_area() fails.

In original code before commit 3499a13168da ("mm/mmap: use maple tree
for unmapped_area{_topdown}"), the logic is:

  * find a gap with total length, including alignment
  * adjust start address with alignment

What we do now is:

  * find a gap with total length, including alignment
  * adjust start address with alignment
  * then compare the left range with total length

This is not necessary to compare with total length again after start
address adjusted.

Also, it is not correct to minus 1 here. This may not trigger an issue
in real world, since address are usually aligned with page size.
