One thing that strikes me is this problem also implies that the /proc/self/maps file is wrong for the GROWSUP case, isn't it? So I think we should not just apply your lock fix, but then *also* apply something like this: diff --git a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c index 2e7addfd9803..080980880c7f 100644 --- a/fs/proc/task_mmu.c +++ b/fs/proc/task_mmu.c @@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ static void show_map_vma(struct seq_file *m, struct vm_area_struct *vma) int flags = vma->vm_flags; unsigned long ino = 0; unsigned long long pgoff = 0; - unsigned long start; + unsigned long start, end; dev_t dev = 0; int len; @@ -227,13 +227,16 @@ static void show_map_vma(struct seq_file *m, struct vm_area_struct *vma) /* We don't show the stack guard page in /proc/maps */ start = vma->vm_start; - if (vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN) - if (!vma_stack_continue(vma->vm_prev, vma->vm_start)) - start += PAGE_SIZE; + if (stack_guard_page_growsdown(vma, start)) + start += PAGE_SIZE; + end = vma->vm_end; + if (stack_guard_page_growsup(vma, end)) + end -= PAGE_SIZE; + seq_printf(m, "%08lx-%08lx %c%c%c%c %08llx %02x:%02x %lu %n", start, - vma->vm_end, + end, flags & VM_READ ? 'r' : '-', flags & VM_WRITE ? 'w' : '-', flags & VM_EXEC ? 'x' : '-', NOTE! The above actually assumes that your "stack_guard_page_growsup()" has been changed to actually take the "next page" value, which I think makes more sense (ie it's the "end of stack", the same way "stack_guard_page_growsdown()" address is). Hmm? I don't have any growsup machine to test with, can you do that?
