This clashes with
mm-mmapc-remove-redundant-local-variables-for-may_expand_vm.patch,
below. I resolved it thusly:
bool may_expand_vm(struct mm_struct *mm, vm_flags_t flags, unsigned long npages)
{
if (mm->total_vm + npages > rlimit(RLIMIT_AS) >> PAGE_SHIFT)
return false;
if ((flags & (VM_WRITE | VM_SHARED | (VM_STACK_FLAGS &
(VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN)))) == VM_WRITE)
return mm->data_vm + npages <= rlimit(RLIMIT_DATA);
return true;
}
