[PATCH mmotm] mm: _install_special_mapping() apply VM_LOCKED_CLEAR_MASK

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Wed Mar 02 2022 - 20:38:11 EST


_install_special_mapping() adds the VM_SPECIAL bit VM_DONTEXPAND (and
never attempts to update locked_vm), so it ought to be consistent with
mmap_region() and mlock_fixup(), making sure not to add VM_LOCKED or
VM_LOCKONFAULT. I doubt that this fixes any problem in practice: just
do it for consistency.

Noticed in doing mm/munlock series, but not needed as a part of that.
