Subject: [PATCH] vm: fix vm_pgoff wrap in upward expansion
Date: Mon, 9 May 2011 17:44:42 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.00.1105091739140.7047@sister.anvils> (raw)
Commit a626ca6a6564 ("vm: fix vm_pgoff wrap in stack expansion") fixed
the case of an expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you had
downward stack expansion. But there was another case where IA64 and
PA-RISC expand mappings: upward expansion.
This fixes that case too.

On April 12th you asked "Guys, can you think of any other thing
that might expand a mapping?": this is the only one I thought of.
