[PATCH 03/10] fs: consistently use file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper

From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Mon Jun 16 2025 - 15:37:15 EST


Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file
callback"), the f_op->mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of
f_op->mmap_prepare().

Additionally, commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility
layer for nested file systems") permits the use of the .mmap_prepare() hook
even in nested filesystems like overlayfs.

There are a number of places where we check only for f_op->mmap - this is
incorrect now mmap_prepare exists, so update all of these to use the
general helper file_has_valid_mmap_hooks().

Most notably, this updates the elf logic to allow for the ability to
execute binaries on filesystems which have the .mmap_prepare hook, but
additionally we update nested filesystems.
