[merged mm-stable] alsa-pcm-use-vm_insert_page-to-map-pcm-status-page.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ALSA: pcm: use vm_insert_page() to map PCM status page
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     alsa-pcm-use-vm_insert_page-to-map-pcm-status-page.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: ALSA: pcm: use vm_insert_page() to map PCM status page
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 16:04:53 +0100

There's no need to keep a fault handler around for this, instead map on
mmap.

While we're here, rename area to vma to be consistent.

This correctly makes the mapping a mixed map mapping.

This works towards establishing the invariant that only PFN mapped or mixed
map mappings may clear the VM_MAYWRITE flag. The status page mapping clears
VM_MAYWRITE, so it must not be mm-managed; the control page mapping remains
writable and is left fault-based.

The assumption is made that the struct pcm_mmap_status structure is at most
a page in size, which is asserted as a build bug.

This is safe to assume, as the size of the structure is 56 bytes at most.
