expand_upwards() and expand_downwards() will return -EFAULT if VM_GROWSUP
or VM_GROWSDOWN is not correctly set in vma->vm_flags, however in
!CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, expand_stack_locked() returns -EINVAL first if
!(vma->vm_flags & VM_GROWSDOWN) before calling expand_downwards(), to keep
the consistency with CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP case, remove this check.
The usages of this function are as below:
A:fs/exec.c
ret = expand_stack_locked(vma, stack_base);
if (ret)
ret = -EFAULT;
or
B:mm/memory.c mm/mmap.c
if (expand_stack_locked(vma, addr))
return NULL;
which means the return value will not propagate to other places, so I
believe there is no user-visible effects of this change, and it's
unnecessary to backport to earlier versions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
