Subject: mm/mremap: fail map duplication attempts for private mappings
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dba58d3b8c5045ad89c1c95d33d01451e3964db7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mm/mremap: fail map duplication attempts for private mappings

mremap will attempt to create a 'duplicate' mapping if old_size == 0 is
specified.  In the case of private mappings, mremap will actually create
a fresh separate private mapping unrelated to the original.  This does
not fit with the design semantics of mremap as the intention is to
create a new mapping based on the original.

Therefore, return EINVAL in the case where an attempt is made to
duplicate a private mapping.  Also, print a warning message (once) if
such an attempt is made.
