From: Michal Hocko <mho...@suse.com>
"mm: enlarge stack guard gap" 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.
Fixes: d4d2d35e6ef9 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas")

Hi,
the original thread [1] has grown quite large and also a bit confusing.
At least the rust part should be fixed by this patch. 32b java will
probably need something more on top of this. Btw. JNI environments rely
on MAP_FIXED PROT_NONE as well they were just lucky to not hit the issue
yet I guess.
