mm: allow handling of stacked mmap_prepare hooks in more drivers
While the conversion of mmap hooks to mmap_prepare is underway, we will encounter situations where mmap hooks need to invoke nested mmap_prepare hooks. The nesting of mmap hooks is termed 'stacking'. In order to flexibly facilitate the conversion of custom mmap hooks in drivers which stack, we must split up the existing __compat_vma_mmap() function into two separate functions: * compat_set_desc_from_vma() - This allows the setting of a vm_area_desc object's fields to the relevant fields of a VMA. * __compat_vma_mmap() - Once an mmap_prepare hook has been executed upon a vm_area_desc object, this function performs any mmap actions specified by the mmap_prepare hook and then invokes its vm_ops->mapped() hook if any were specified. In ordinary cases, where a file's f_op->mmap_prepare() hook simply needs to be invoked in a stacked mmap() hook, compat_vma_mmap() can be used. However some drivers define their own nested hooks, which are invoked in turn by another hook. A concrete example is vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer(), which is invoked in turn by bin_attribute->mmap(): vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer() has a signature of: int (*mmap_ring_buffer)(struct vmbus_channel *channel, struct vm_area_struct *vma); And bin_attribute->mmap() has a signature of: int (*mmap)(struct file *, struct kobject *, const struct bin_attribute *attr, struct vm_area_struct *vma); And so compat_vma_mmap() cannot be used here for incremental conversion of hooks from mmap() to mmap_prepare(). There are many such instances like this, where conversion to mmap_prepare would otherwise cascade to a huge change set due to nesting of this kind. The changes in this patch mean we could now instead convert vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer() to vmbus_channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer(), and implement something like: struct vm_area_desc desc; int err; compat_set_desc_from_vma(&desc, file, vma); err = channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer(channel, &desc); if (err) return err; return __compat_vma_mmap(&desc, vma); Allowing us to incrementally update this logic, and other logic like it. Unfortunately, as part of this change, we need to be able to flexibly assign to the VMA descriptor, so have to remove some of the const declarations within the structure. Also update the VMA tests to reflect the changes.
