Less trivial (and I wonder whether you've come to this from an ia64
or a powerpc direction): I notice that ia64 has more stringent REGION
checks in its ia64_do_page_fault, before calling expand_stack or
expand_upwards. So on that path, the usual path, I think your
new check in acct_stack_growth is unnecessary on ia64;
I think you are correct. This appears to affect powerpc only. On ia64,
hugetlb lives in a completely different region and they can never step
into normal stack address space. And for x86, there isn't a thing called
"reserved address space" for hugetlb mapping.
