Subject[PATCH] mm: avoid setting up anonymous pages into file mapping
Date
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().

There's chance that it was done intentionally, but I don't see good
justification for this. We just hide bugs in broken drivers.

Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on
anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL).

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