Thanks for the suggestion, David. Yes, with the recent change that
does not overload anon_name, checking for "vma->anon_name" would be
simpler. I think we can also drop anon_vma_name() function now
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2-rc2/source/mm/madvise.c#L94)
since vma->anon_name does not depend on vma->vm_file anymore, remove
the last part of this comment:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2-rc2/source/include/linux/mm_types.h#L584
and use vma->anon_name directly going forward. If all that sounds
good, I'll post a separate patch implementing all these changes.
So, for this patch I would suggest keeping it as is because
functionally it is correct and will change this check along with other
corrections I mentioned above in a separate patch. Does that sound
good?
