The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: only enforce minimum stack gap size if it's sensible has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-only-enforce-minimum-stack-gap-size-if-its-sensible.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

The generic mmap_base code tries to leave a gap between the top of the stack and the mmap base address, but enforces a minimum gap size (MIN_GAP) of 128MB, which is too large on some setups. In particular, on arm tasks without ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT, the STACK_TOP value is less than 128MB, so it's impossible to fit such a gap in.
Only enforce this minimum if MIN_GAP < MAX_GAP, as we'd prefer to honour MAX_GAP, which is defined proportionally, so scales better and always leaves us with both _some_ stack space and some room for mmap.
This fixes the usercopy KUnit test suite on 32-bit arm, as it doesn't set any personality flags so gets the default (in this case 26-bit) task size. This test can be run with: ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm usercopy --make_options LLVM=1
