Subject: Re: [PATCH 01/18] mm: introduce MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to
 safely define new mmap flags

So I'm trying to make sense of this together with Michal's attempt for
MAP_FIXED_SAFE [1] where he has to introduce a completely new flag
instead of flag modifier exactly for the reason of not validating
unknown flags. And my conclusion is that because MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE
implies MAP_SHARED and excludes MAP_PRIVATE, MAP_FIXED_SAFE as a
modifier cannot build on top of this. Wouldn't thus it be really better
long-term to introduce mmap3 at this point? ...
