![]() Instead of having callers care about the mmap_min_addr logic for the
lowest valid mapping address (and some of them getting it wrong), just
move the logic into vm_unmapped_area() itself. One less thing for various
architecture cases (and generic helpers) to worry about.
We should really try to make much more of this be common code, but baby
steps..
Without this, vm_unmapped_area() could return an address below
mmap_min_addr (because some caller forgot about that). That then causes
the mmap machinery to think it has found a workable address, but then
later security_mmap_addr(addr) is unhappy about it and the mmap() returns
with a nonsensical error (EPERM).
The proper action is to either return ENOMEM (if the virtual address space
is exhausted), or try to find another address (ie do a bottom-up search
for free addresses after the top-down one failed).
