Hmm, then I wonder whether the next check against vm_start_gap() which checks against the aligned address is correct: addr = PAGE_ALIGN(addr); vma = find_vma(mm, addr); if (end - len >= addr && (!vma || addr + len <= vm_start_gap(vma))) return addr; Thanks, tglx -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
