Subject: [PATCH] ntfs: fix mmap_prepare writable check for shared mappings
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 18:59:16 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421095916.6496-1-linkinjeon@kernel.org> (raw)
Linus pointed out that checking only VMA_WRITE_BIT is incorrect.
Private writable mappings (MAP_PRIVATE) set VM_WRITE but do not
write back to the filesystem. Also, mappings that can become
writable via mprotect() (VM_MAYWRITE) must be handled.
Use vma_desc_test_all(VMA_SHARED_BIT, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT) instead,
which matches what other filesystems do.
