[PATCH 5.4.y 0/3] Backport series: "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings"

["Isaac J. Manjarres" <isaacmanjarres@google.com>]

Hello,

Until kernel version 6.7, a write-sealed memfd could not be mapped as
shared and read-only. This was clearly a bug, and was not inline with
the description of F_SEAL_WRITE in the man page for fcntl()[1].

Lorenzo's series [2] fixed that issue and was merged in kernel version
6.7, but was not backported to older kernels. So, this issue is still
present on kernels 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, 6.1, and 6.6.

This series backports Lorenzo's series to the 5.4 kernel.

Lorenzo Stoakes (3):
  mm: drop the assumption that VM_SHARED always implies writable
  mm: update memfd seal write check to include F_SEAL_WRITE
  mm: perform the mapping_map_writable() check after call_mmap()
