[PATCH 0/5] Make vma_is_anonymous() reliable
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Mon Jul 13 2015 - 06:55:19 EST
We rely on ->vm_ops == NULL to detect anonymous VMA but this check is not
always reliable:
- MPX sets ->vm_ops on anonymous VMA;
- many drivers don't set ->vm_ops. See for instance hpet_mmap().
This patchset makes vma_is_anonymous() more reliable and makes few
cleanups around the code.
Kirill A. Shutemov (5):
mm: mark most vm_operations_struct const
x86, mpx: do not set ->vm_ops on mpx VMAs
mm: make sure all file VMAs have ->vm_ops set
mm, madvise: use vma_is_anonymous() to check for anon VMA
mm, memcontrol: use vma_is_anonymous() to check for anon VMA
