[PATCH] powerpc: mm: fix mmap errno when MAP_FIXED is set and mapping exceeds the allowed address space

From: Jerome Marchand <hidden>
Date: 2014-01-15 15:28:37
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

According to Posix, if MAP_FIXED is specified mmap shall set ENOMEM if
the requested mapping exceeds the allowed range for address space of
the process. The generic code set it right, but the specific powerpc
slice_get_unmapped_area() function currently returns -EINVAL in that
case.
This patch corrects it.
