[PATCH RESEND 5/8] mm: Start fallback top-down mmap at mm->mmap_base

From: Alexandre Ghiti
Date: Thu Jun 20 2019 - 01:15:15 EST


In case of mmap failure in top-down mode, there is no need to go through
the whole address space again for the bottom-up fallback: the goal of this
fallback is to find, as a last resort, space between the top-down mmap base
and the stack, which is the only place not covered by the top-down mmap.
