Hmm, why is holding it for read sufficient?

That initialization is pointless.

IIRC then text pages are (VM_READ|VM_EXEC)

And what makes sure that we don't ?

Why don't you get the error code of anon_vma_prepare()?

Wants to called with mmap_sem held as well, right ?

Same as above

  ret = 0 ?? At least, that's what the comment above says.
