[PATCH mm-unstable v1 3/3] drivers/misc/open-dice: don't touch VM_MAYSHARE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A MAP_SHARED mapping always has VM_MAYSHARE set, and writable
(VM_MAYWRITE) MAP_SHARED mappings have VM_SHARED set as well. To
identify a MAP_SHARED mapping, it's sufficient to look at VM_MAYSHARE.

We cannot have VM_MAYSHARE|VM_WRITE mappings without having VM_SHARED
set. Consequently, current code will never actually end up clearing
VM_MAYSHARE and that code is confusing, because nobody is supposed to
mess with VM_MAYWRITE.

Let's clean it up and restructure the code. No functional change intended.
