Looks good to me.
I'm also maintaining an out of tree coda module build that people sometimes use, which has workarounds for differences between the various kernel versions.
Do you have a reference to the corresponding mmap_region change? If it is merged already I'll probably be able to find it. Is this mmap_region change expected to be backported to any lts kernels?
That is the following upstream commit in Linus tree:
commit 1527f926fd04490f648c42f42b45218a04754f87

mm: mmap: fix fput in error path v2
But I don't think we should backport that.
And sorry for the noise. We had so many places which expected different
behavior that I didn't noticed that two occasions in the fs code
actually rely on the current behavior.
For your out of tree module you could make the code version independent
by setting the vma back to the original file in case of an error. That
should work with both behaviors in mmap_region.
Thanks,
Christian.

mmap_region() now calls fput() on the vma->vm_file.
So we need to drop the extra reference on the coda file instead of the
host file.
