Indeed good point!

Other minor nitpick, this could have been:

     int vm_shared = vm_alloc_shared;

But I'm sure gcc will emit the same asm.

For greppability (if such word exist) calling it vm_shared_alloc would
have been preferable. We can clean it up post upstream merge or it
should be diffed against mm latest or it may cause more rejects.

The patches were not against latest -mm so I solved the rejects during
merge in my tree. Then I looked at the result of all my merges after
everything is applied and I think I spotted a merge gone wrong in this
patch:

https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/userfaultfd-mcopy_atomic-return-enoent-when-no-compatible-vma-found.patch

Below is a hand edited git diff that shows the only meaningful
difference.

The below should be included in
userfaultfd-mcopy_atomic-return-enoent-when-no-compatible-vma-found.patch
or as -fix2 at the end.

Everything else is identical which is great. Mike Rapoport could you
verify the below hunk is missing in mm?

Once it'll all be merged upstream then there will be less merge crunch
as we've been working somewhat in parallel on the same files, so this
is resulting in more merge rejects than ideal :).
