      mm: do not collapse stack gap into THP · cc9020f7
      Michal Hocko authored
      Oleg has noticed that khugepaged will happilly collapse stack vma (as
      long as it is not an early stack - see is_vma_temporary_stack) and
      it might effectively remove the stack gap area as well because a larger
      part of the stack vma is usually populated. The same applies to the
      page fault handler.
      
      Fix this by checking stack_guard_area when revalidating a VMA
      in hugepage_vma_revalidate.  We do not want to hook/replace
      is_vma_temporary_stack() check because THP might be still useful for
      stack, all we need is excluding the gap from collapsing into a THP.
      
      Also check the to-be-created THP in do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page to
      make sure it is completely outside of the gap area because we we could
      create THP covering the gap area.
