	if (file){
		...
	} else if (vm_flags & VM_SHARED) { 	//ANON SHARED
		error = shmem_zero_setup(vma);
	        if (error)
        		goto free_vma;
	} else { 				//ANON PRIVATE
		vma_set_anonymous(vma);		//set vma->vm_ops= NULL
	}

To me this means that the VMA is PRIVATE ANON memory. The vma_is_anonymous
function returns true when vm_ops == NULL. So my intentions were to more
accurately describe what we are checking for. I could be wrong though thats why
I started with an RFC :)

There could be some aspect of COW that I dont fully understand. It is not
something I've looked into much.
