In linux version 4.4, a 32-bit process may fail to allocate 64M hugepage
memory by function shmat even though there is a 64M memory gap in
the process.
It is the adjusted length that causes the problem, introduced from
commit db4fbfb9523c935 ("mm: vm_unmapped_area() lookup function").
Accounting for the worst case alignment overhead, function unmapped_area
and unmapped_area_topdown adjust the search length before searching
for available vma gap. This is an estimated length, sum of the desired
length and the longest alignment offset, which can cause misjudgement
if the system has very few virtual memory left. For example, if the
longest memory gap available is 64M, we can’t get it from the system
by allocating 64M hugepage memory via shmat function. The reason is
that it requires a longger length, the sum of the desired length(64M)
and the longest alignment offset.
To fix this error ,we can calculate the alignment offset of
gap_start or gap_end to get a desired gap_start or gap_end value,
before searching for the available gap. In this way, we don't
need to adjust the search length.
Problem reproduces procedure:
1. allocate a lot of virtual memory segments via shmat and malloc
2. release one of the biggest memory segment via shmdt
3. attach the biggest memory segment via shmat
e.g.

from 0xf7a00000 to fba00000, it has 64M memory gap, but we can't get
it from kernel.
