No. I want every allocation to explicitely opt-in large address space. It's additional fail-safe: if a library can't handle large addresses it has better chance to survive if its own allocation will stay within 47-bits. > I just tried to define it like this: > -#define DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW ((1UL << 47) - PAGE_SIZE) > +#define DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW (test_thread_flag(TIF_ADDR32) ? \ > + IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : ((1UL << 47) - > PAGE_SIZE)) > > And it looks working better.

With your proposed change to DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW difinition it should be okay, right? -- Kirill A.
