[PATCH v4 19/21] uio: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare in uio_info

Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
2026-03-20T22:40:59Z

The f_op->mmap interface is deprecated, so update uio_info to use its
successor, mmap_prepare.

Therefore, replace the uio_info->mmap hook with a new
uio_info->mmap_prepare hook, and update its one user, target_core_user,
to both specify this new mmap_prepare hook and also to use the new
vm_ops->mapped() hook to continue to maintain a correct udev->kref
refcount.

Then update uio_mmap() to utilise the mmap_prepare compatibility layer to
invoke this callback from the uio mmap invocation.
