From a09a79f66874c905af35d5bb5e5f2fdc7b6b894d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Mon, 9 May 2011 13:01:09 +0200 Subject: Don't lock guardpage if the stack is growing up Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too. This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch. [ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc//maps for the grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.
