commit 58c5d0d6d522112577c7eeb71d382ea642ed7be4 upstream. The maple tree limits the gap returned to a window that specifically fits what was asked. This may not be optimal in the case of switching search directions or a gap that does not satisfy the requested space for other reasons. Fix the search by retrying the operation and limiting the search window in the rare occasion that a conflict occurs.

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.
