expand_stack is only protected with down_read(&mmap_sem), and thus 2 thread could grow a vma at the same time. I think the spin_lock(&page_table_lock) should be moved up before the calculation of grow. And map_user_kiobuf() doesn't honor VM_LOCKED for VM_GROWSDOWN segments. Probably it should be switched to find_extend_vma instead of the do-it-yourself implementation. -- Manfred - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
