The commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") caused two issues [1] [2] reported on 32 bit system or compat
userspace.

It doesn't make too much sense to force huge page alignment on 32 bit
system due to the constrained virtual address space.

I feel sure there are shorter URLs for those messages ...

I honestly wouldn't even comment this.  But if you must,

It is not only about address randomization. Removing the comment is fine too.

FWIW,
Bernhard noticed that "froce" and "contrained", could you fix that 
before applying the patch?

No, you can't:

1) it was merged to mm-stable already, and
2) the comment is not in that version at all [1]

Matthew has objected that the comment is not really necessary and I
think he is quite right. If anything the commend would be helpful to
explain why this doesn't make much sense (because that breaks ASLR
on default configuration and compat tasks). But that should be clear
from the changelog so I think we are good here.

[FWIW, this is now 4ef9ad19e17676 ("mm: huge_memory: don't force huge
page alignment on 32 bit") in mainline]

Quick question: it it okay to ask Greg to pick this up for linux-6.7.y
series?

I'm wondering because Jiri's report ([1] in above quote) sounded like
this is something that will affect and annoy quite a few people with the
linux-6.7.y.

Ciao, Thorsten

Yes, definitely. Thanks for following up.

In that case: Greg, could you please consider picking up 4ef9ad19e17676
("mm: huge_memory: don't force huge page alignment on 32 bit") for the
next linux-6.7 rc round? tia!

Ohh, and btw: you might also want to pick up c4608d1bf7c653 ("mm: mmap:
map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE") if you haven't already done so: its
stable tag contains a typo, hence I guess your scripts might have missed
it (I only noticed that by chance).

Ciao, Thorsten

Hey Greg, is below mail still in your queue of linux-stable mails to
process? If so please apologize this interruption and just ignore this
mail. I just started to wonder if it might have fallen through the
cracks somehow, as I've seen you updating stable-queue.git for 6.7.y,
but it's still missing this patch (and the other one mentioned) --
that's why I decided to write this quick status inquiry.

Ciao, Thorsten

Yes, my queue is quite large because of travel and the CNA/CVE work that
was happening, am catching up now.  I've queued these up now, thanks.
