Each struct vm_mem_backing_src_alias has a flags field, which denotes the flags used to mmap() an area of that type. Previously, this field never included MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, because vm_userspace_mem_region_add assumed that *all* types would always use those flags, and so it hardcoded them. In a follow-up commit, we'll add a new type: shmem. Areas of this type must not have MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, and instead they must have MAP_SHARED. So, refactor things. Make it so that the flags field of struct vm_mem_backing_src_alias really is a complete set of flags, and don't add in any extras in vm_userspace_mem_region_add. This will let us easily tack on shmem.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
