Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings". Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings. CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings. This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is actually means. Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead. This patch (of 3): We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs. VM_SHARED and reduce the confusion. While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED, !CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings that are an effective overlay of a file mapping. Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into is_nommu_shared_mapping() first. Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well (unless there is a serious BUG). So there is not need to test for VM_SHARED manually. No functional change intended.
