[PATCH] mm: move 'mmap_min_addr' logic from callers into vm_unmapped_area()

From: Liam R. Howlett

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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).

See commit 2afc745f3e30 ("mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher
address than mmap_min_addr"), which fixed this for one call site (the
generic arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() fallback) but left other cases
alone.
