    mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE · 4b6e1e37

    Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP.  VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
    ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.
    
    Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
    VM_PFNMAP.  If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
    expects page-faults.
    
    This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
    disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
    BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
    do_wp_page() can handle this.
    
    vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage.  Usually it is called
    from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
    change vma->vm_flags.  Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
    wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault
    handler.
