mm: fix mmap errno value when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported
Patch series "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno", v4. Mark Brown reported seeing a regression in -next on 32 bit arm with the mlock selftests. Before exiting and marking the tests failed, the following message was logged after an attempt to create a MAP_DROPPABLE mapping: Bail out! mmap error: Unknown error 524 It turns out error 524 is ENOTSUPP which is an error that userspace is not supposed to see, but it indicates in this instance that MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported. The first patch changes the errno returned to EOPNOTSUPP. The second patch is a second version of a prior patch to introduce selftests to verify locking behavior with droppable mappings with the additional change to skip the tests when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported. The third patch fixes the MAP_DROPPABLE selftest so that it is run by the framework and skips if MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported. This patch (of 3): On configs where MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported (currently any 32-bit config except for PPC32), mmap fails with errno set to ENOTSUPP. However, ENOTSUPP is not a standard error value that userspace knows about. The acceptable userspace-visible errno to use is EOPNOTSUPP. checkpatch.pl has a warning to this effect.
