gup: make the stack expansion warning a bit more targeted
I added a warning about about GUP no longer expanding the stack in commit a425ac53 ("gup: add warning if some caller would seem to want stack expansion"), but didn't really expect anybody to hit it. And it's true that nobody seems to have hit a _real_ case yet, but we certainly have a number of reports of false positives. Which not only causes extra noise in itself, but might also end up hiding any real cases if they do exist. So let's tighten up the warning condition, and replace the simplistic vma = find_vma(mm, start); if (vma && (start < vma->vm_start)) { WARN_ON_ONCE(vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN); with a vma = gup_vma_lookup(mm, start); helper function which works otherwise like just "vma_lookup()", but with some heuristics for when to warn about gup no longer causing stack expansion. In particular, don't just warn for "below the stack", but warn if it's _just_ below the stack (with "just below" arbitrarily defined as 64kB, be...
