This series expands the mmap_prepare functionality, which is intended to replace the deprecated f_op->mmap hook which has been the source of bugs and security issues for some time.
This series starts with some cleanup of existing mmap_prepare logic, then adds documentation for the mmap_prepare call to make it easier for filesystem and driver writers to understand how it works. It then importantly adds a vm_ops->mapped hook, a key feature that was missing from mmap_prepare previously - this is invoked when a driver which specifies mmap_prepare has successfully been mapped but not merged with another VMA. Importantly, mmap_prepare is invoked prior to a merge being attempted, so you cannot manipulate state such as reference counts as if it were a new mapping. The vm_ops->mapped hook allows a driver to perform tasks required at this stage, and provides symmetry against subsequent vm_ops->open,close calls. The series uses this to correct the afs implementation which wrongly manipulated reference count at mmap_prepare time. It then adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_iomap_memory() - mmap_action_simple_ioremap(), then uses this to update a number of drivers. It then splits out the mmap_prepare compatibility layer (which allows for invocation of mmap_prepare hooks in an mmap() hook) in such a way as to allow for more incremental implementation of mmap_prepare hooks. It then uses this to extend mmap_prepare usage in drivers. Finally it adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_map_pages(), which lays the foundation for future work which will extend mmap_prepare to DMA coherent mappings.
