In case of 5-level paging, we don't put any mapping above 47-bit, unless userspace explicitly asked for it. Userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying hint address above 47-bit. Nicholas noticed that current implementation violates this interface: we can get vma partly in high addresses if we ask for a mapping at very end of 47-bit address space. Let's make sure that, when consider hint address for non-MAP_FIXED mapping, start and end of resulting vma are on the same side of 47-bit border. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
