Commit1be7107fbe("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") has introduced a regression in some rust and Java environments which are trying to implement their own stack guard page. They are punching a new MAP_FIXED mapping inside the existing stack Vma. This will confuse expand_{downwards,upwards} into thinking that the stack expansion would in fact get us too close to an existing non-stack vma which is a correct behavior wrt safety. It is a real regression on the other hand. Let's work around the problem by considering PROT_NONE mapping as a part of the stack. This is a gros hack but overflowing to such a mapping would trap anyway an we only can hope that usespace knows what it is doing and handle it propely.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
