[PATCH v2] mm/mmap: Regression fix for unmapped_area{_topdown}

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Fri Apr 14 2023 - 14:59:43 EST


The maple tree limits the gap returned to a window that specifically
fits what was asked. This may not be optimal in the case of switching
search directions or a gap that does not satisfy the requested space for
other reasons. Fix the search by retrying the operation and limiting
the search window in the rare occasion that a conflict occurs.

v1 changes:
- Add comment about avoiding prev check
- Remove check for VM_GROWSUP on prev since vm_end_gap() does this
