Subject: mm: nommu: add sysctl_max_map_count() check for do_mmap()
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 10:28:30 +0900

The sysctl variable vm.max_map_count (sysctl_max_map_count) is not exposed
under !MMU configurations, but its default value (DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT)
is still used as a allocation limit.  Currently, this limit is enforced
when a VMA entry is split into two chunks (split_vma()), but it is not
checked during initial allocation (do_mmap()).  As a result, if a user
requests a large number of memory allocations, the system will continue
allocating until it hits an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) condition.

This commit introduces a check at the beginning of do_mmap() in nommu.c to
prevent this situation.

This issue was detected using the Linux Test Project (LTP) test linked
below.
