Assorted small fixes. The first two are quite small: - Move check for vma->vm_private_data && !(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR) within existing if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_NONLINEAR)) block. Purely cosmetic. - In the VM_LOCKED case, when dropping PG_Mlocked for the over-mapped range, make sure we own the mmap_sem write lock around the munlock_vma_pages_range call as this manipulates the vma's vm_flags. Last fix requires a longer explanation. remap_file_pages() can do its work either through VM_NONLINEAR manipulation or by creating extra vmas. These two cases were inconsistent with each other (and ultimately, both wrong) as to exactly when did they fault in the newly mapped file pages: - In the VM_NONLINEAR case, new file pages would be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK flag wasn't passed. If MAP_NONBLOCK was passed, new file pages wouldn't be populated even if the vma is already marked as VM_LOCKED. - In the linear (emulated) case, the work is passed to the mmap_region() function which would populate the pages if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, and would not otherwise - regardless of the value of the MAP_NONBLOCK flag, because MAP_POPULATE wasn't being passed to mmap_region(). The desired behavior is that we want the pages to be populated and locked if the vma is marked as VM_LOCKED, or to be populated if the MAP_NONBLOCK flag is not passed to remap_file_pages().
