Neither me, so lets go with VM_SEALED_SYSMAP. My only objection is that vm_flags = VM_EXEC|VM_MAYEXEC|VM_DONTCOPY|VM_IO; vm_flags |= VM_SEALED_SYSMAP; looks unnecessarily confusing to me, vm_flags = VM_EXEC|VM_MAYEXEC|VM_DONTCOPY|VM_IO|VM_SEALED_SYSMAP; or just vma = _install_special_mapping(..., VM_EXEC|VM_MAYEXEC|VM_DONTCOPY|VM_IO|VM_SEALED_SYSMAP, ... looks more readable. But this is cosmetic/subjective, so I won't argue/insist. > Jeff - perhaps drop this and let's return to it in a follow up so this series > isn't held up? Up to you and Jeff. But this patch looks "natural" to me in this series. Oleg.
