Revision 6b7339f4c31ad69c8e9c0b2859276e22cf72176d authored by Kirill A. Shutemov on 06 July 2015, 20:18:37 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 09 July 2015, 18:12:48 UTC
Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right
circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if
the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated
on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with
do_anonymous_page().

Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on
anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not
shared.

For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops,
page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS.
