The devdax driver does nothing special in its f_op->mmap hook, so
straightforwardly update it to use the mmap_prepare hook instead.

Thanks!


The only thing that bugs me is __check_vma() that does not check a vma.

Ah yeah, you're right.


Maybe something along the lines of

"check_vma_properties"

maybe check_vma_desc()?

Would also work, although it might imply that we are passing in a vma desc.

Well, you could let check_vma() construct a vma_desc and pass that to check_vma_desc() ...
