Subject: mm: fix mmap errno value when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 17:34:16 -0700
On configs where MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported (currently any 32-bit
config except for PPC32), mmap fails with errno set to ENOTSUPP. However,
ENOTSUPP is not a standard error value that userspace knows about. The
acceptable userspace-visible errno to use is EOPNOTSUPP. checkpatch.pl
has a warning to this affect.
