Patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks", v2. The mmap_action->success_hook was a strange beast added to enable code which appeared to absolutely require access to a VMA pointer to work correctly. Primarily this was for hugetlb, however a different approach will be taken there, as clearly more work is required to figure out a sensible way of converting hugetlb to use mmap_prepare. The other user was the memory char driver, specifically /dev/zero which has the unusual property of explicitly setting file-backed VMAs anonymous. Providing the success hook was always foolish, as it allowed drivers a way to workaround the restriction that they should not access a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-initialised VMA - which defeats the purpose of the mmap_prepare work. We can achieve the same thing in memory char driver without needing the success hook, so this series removes that, then removes the success hook altogether. The error hook is also unnecessary - the motivation for this was for functions which need to filter the error code when performing an mmap action in order to avoid breaking userspace. We can achieve this by just providing a field for the error code. Doing this means we don't have to worry about the hook doing anything odd. We also add a check to ensure the error code is in fact valid. Again the memory char driver is the only current user of this, so this series updates it to use that. After this change mmap_action has no custom hooks at all, which seems rather more cromulent than before. This patch (of 3): /dev/zero, uniquely, marks memory mapped there as anonymous. This is currently achieved using the mmap_action->success_hook. However this hook circumvents the abstraction of VMA initialisation so it's preferable to do things a different way. To achieve this, this patch firstly defaults the VMA descriptor's vm_ops field to the dummy VMA operations, which is what file-backed VMAs default this field to. That way, we can detect whether a driver sets this field to NULL in order to mark it anonymous. We then introduce vma_desc_set_anonymous() to do this explicitly, and invoke it in mmap_zero_prepare(). This way, any driver which does not explicitly set desc->vm_ops, retains the dummy vm_ops as they would previously. We also update set_vma_user_defined_fields() to make clear that we are either setting vma->vm_ops to what is provided by the driver (or defaulting to dummy_vm_ops if not set), or setting the VMA anonymous. This lays the groundwork for removing the success hook.
