The only one I can find in the tree is parisc and I do not have access
to any such machine. Maybe someone on the list (CCed) can help with
testing the patch bellow? Nevertheless, the patch doesn't change growsup
case. It just renames functions and exports growsdown.

IA64 which grows upwards only for registers still needs a fix because of
the rename, though. I'm sorry, I must have missed it in the grep output
before. No other arch specific code uses expand_{down,up}wards directly.

Changes since v2
- fix compilation error on ia64
Changes since v1
- fixed expand_downwards case for CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in get_arg_page.
- rename expand_{downwards,upwards} -> expand_stack_{downwards,upwards}

Subject: [PATCH] mm: make expand_downwards symmetrical to expand_upwards

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is
accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards.

check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.

Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those name
consistent. Let's use expand_stack_{upwards,downwards} so that we are
explicit about stack manipulation in the name. expand_stack_downwards
has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because
get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process
initialization phase for growsup configuration.
