Commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas") has
introduced a regression in some rust and Java environments which are
trying to implement their own stack guard page. They are punching a new
MAP_FIXED mapping inside the existing stack Vma.
This will confuse expand_{downwards,upwards} into thinking that the
stack expansion would in fact get us too close to an existing non-stack
vma which is a correct behavior wrt safety. It is a real regression on
the other hand.
Let's work around the problem by considering PROT_NONE mapping as a part
of the stack. This is a gros hack but overflowing to such a mapping
would trap anyway an we only can hope that usespace knows what it is
doing and handle it propely.
