mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE
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.
