[PATCH v3 1/3] kernfs: remove page_mkwrite() from vm_operations_struct

From: Martin Oliveira
Date: Thu Jul 04 2024 - 12:38:12 EST


The .page_mkwrite operator of kernfs just calls file_update_time().
This is the same behaviour that the fault code does if .page_mkwrite is
not set.

Furthermore, having the page_mkwrite() operator causes
writable_file_mapping_allowed() to fail due to
vma_needs_dirty_tracking() on the gup flow, which is a pre-requisite for
enabling P2PDMA over RDMA.

There are no users of .page_mkwrite and no known valid use cases, so
just remove the .page_mkwrite from kernfs_ops and WARN_ON() if an mmap()
implementation sets .page_mkwrite.
