[PATCH v9 0/8] Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap

[Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com>]

This updates the vm_area_struct support to use the approach we discussed
at LPC where there are several different Rust wrappers for
vm_area_struct depending on the kind of access you have to the vma. Each
case allows a different set of operations on the vma.

This series depends on vfs.rust.file and char-misc-next which are
scheduled to land upstream in the current merge window.

Changes in v9:
- Be more explicit about VmAreaNew being used with f_ops->mmap().
- Point out that clearing VM_MAYWRITE is irreversible.
- Use __vm_flags to set the flags.
- Use as_ and into_ prefixes for conversions.
- Update lock_vma_under_rcu docs and commit msg
- Mention that VmAreaRef::end is exclusive.
- Reword docs for zap_page_range_single.
- Minor fixes to flag docs.
- Add way to access current->mm without a refcount increment.

Changes in v8:
- Split series into more commits to ease review.
- Improve read locks based on Lorenzo's doc: either the mmap or vma lock
  can be used.
- Get rid of mmap write lock because it's possible to avoid the need for
  it.
- Do not allow invalid flag combinations on VmAreaNew.

Changes in v7:
- Make the mmap read/write lock guards respect strict owner semantics.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241010-vma-v6-0-d89039b6f573@google.com

Changes in v6:
- Introduce VmArea{Ref,Mut,New} distinction.
- Add a second patchset for miscdevice.

Changes in v5:
- Rename VmArea::from_raw_vma to from_raw.
- Use Pin for mutable VmArea references.
- Go through `ARef::from` in `mmgrab_current`.
