Patch series "mseal cleanups", v4. Perform a number of cleanups to the mseal logic. Firstly, VM_SEALED is treated differently from every other VMA flag, it really doesn't make sense to do this, so we start by making this consistent with everything else. Next we place the madvise logic where it belongs - in mm/madvise.c. It really makes no sense to abstract this elsewhere. In doing so, we go to great lengths to explain very clearly the previously very confusing logic as to what sealed mappings are impacted here. In doing so, we retain existing logic regarding treatment of madvise() discard operations for a sealed, read-only MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mapping. This is something we likely need to revisit. We then abstract out and explain the 'are there are any gaps in this range in the mm?' check being performed as a prerequisite to mseal being performed. Finally, we simplify the actual mseal logic which is really quite straightforward. No functional change is intended. This patch (of 4): There is no reason to treat VM_SEALED in a special way, in each other case in which a VMA flag is unavailable due to configuration, we simply assign that flag to VM_NONE, so make VM_SEALED consistent with all other VMA flags in this respect. Additionally, use the next available bit for VM_SEALED, 42, rather than arbitrarily putting it at 63 and update the declaration to match all other VMA flags. No functional change intended.
