3.16.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b5330628546616af14ff23075fbf8d4ad91f6e25 upstream.
special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken. It seems it was always
wrong, but this didn't matter until vdso/vvar started to use more than
one page.
And after this change vma_is_anonymous() becomes really trivial, it
simply checks vm_ops == NULL. However, I do think the helper makes
sense. There are a lot of ->vm_ops != NULL checks, the helper makes the
caller's code more understandable (self-documented) and this is more
grep-friendly.
This patch (of 3):
Preparation. Add the new simple helper, vma_is_anonymous(vma), and change
handle_pte_fault() to use it. It will have more users.
The name is not accurate, say a hpet_mmap()'ed vma is not anonymous.
Perhaps it should be named vma_has_fault() instead. But it matches the
logic in mmap.c/memory.c (see next changes). "True" just means that a
page fault will use do_anonymous_page().
