Subject: [PATCH 3/5] fork: Remove assumption that vm_area->nr_pages equals to THREAD_SIZE
Date: Tue, 06 May 2025 09:57:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250506-fork-fixes-v1-3-bd35b63f0f1b@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250506-fork-fixes-v1-0-bd35b63f0f1b@linaro.org>
From: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>
In many places number of pages in the stack is detremined via
(THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE). There is also a BUG_ON() that ensures that
(THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE) is indeed equal to vm_area->nr_pages.
Consistently use vm_area->nr_pages to determine the actual number
of pages allocated in the stack instead, so it is clear what is
going on here.
