Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Make vma_is_anonymous() reliable

We rely on ->vm_ops == NULL to detect anonymous VMA but this check is not
always reliable:

 - MPX sets ->vm_ops on anonymous VMA;

 - many drivers don't set ->vm_ops. See for instance hpet_mmap().

This patchset makes vma_is_anonymous() more reliable and makes few
cleanups around the code.

Kirill A. Shutemov (5):
  mm: mark most vm_operations_struct const
  x86, mpx: do not set ->vm_ops on mpx VMAs
  mm: make sure all file VMAs have ->vm_ops set
  mm, madvise: use vma_is_anonymous() to check for anon VMA
  mm, memcontrol: use vma_is_anonymous() to check for anon VMA
