From 0e8e50e20c837eeec8323bba7dcd25fe5479194c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:49:40 -0700 Subject: mm: make stack guard page logic use vm_prev pointer Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma(). Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if you split the stack with mlock or mprotect.
