Hi Jan,

I not only checked upper inode state but also checked upper inode mmap(shared) state
using  mapping_writably_mapped(upper->i_mapping). Maybe it's better to move i_state check
after mmap check but isn't above checks enough for mmapped file? 

Below code is the definition of mmapping_writably_mapped(), I think it will check shared mmap
regardless write or read permission though the function name is quite confusable.

static inline int mapping_writably_mapped(struct address_space *mapping)
{
	return atomic_read(&mapping->i_mmap_writable) > 0;
}



Thanks,
Chengguang
