From 4bb5f5d9395bc112d93a134d8f5b05611eddc9c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 14:25:25 -0700 Subject: mm: allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings This patch (of 6): The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an address_space. To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative. This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE. This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set. In case there exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY. Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping, you can increase the counter without using the helpers. This is the same that we do for i_writecount.
