file_ra_state_init() assumes that the file_ra_state has been zeroed out. 
Fixes a KMSAN used-unintialized issue (at least).

Fixes: cf948cbc35e80 ("cramfs: read_mapping_page() is synchronous")

Patch series "mm/nommu: don't use VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings".

Trying to reduce the confusion around VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE first
requires !CONFIG_MMU to stop using VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_PRIVATE mappings. 
CONFIG_MMU only sets VM_MAYSHARE for MAP_SHARED mappings.

This paves the way for further VM_MAYSHARE and VM_SHARED cleanups: for
example, renaming VM_MAYSHARED to VM_MAP_SHARED to make it cleaner what is
actually means.

Let's first get the weird case out of the way and not use VM_MAYSHARE in
MAP_PRIVATE mappings, using a new VM_MAYOVERLAY flag instead.


This patch (of 3):

We want to stop using VM_MAYSHARE in private mappings to pave the way for
clarifying the semantics of VM_MAYSHARE vs.  VM_SHARED and reduce the
confusion.  While CONFIG_MMU uses VM_MAYSHARE to represent MAP_SHARED,
!CONFIG_MMU also sets VM_MAYSHARE for selected R/O private file mappings
that are an effective overlay of a file mapping.

Let's factor out all relevant VM_MAYSHARE checks in !CONFIG_MMU code into
is_nommu_shared_mapping() first.

Note that whenever VM_SHARED is set, VM_MAYSHARE must be set as well
(unless there is a serious BUG).  So there is not need to test for
VM_SHARED manually.

No functional change intended.

<title>fs/cramfs: Convert kmap() to kmap_local_data()</title>

<id>f27c942e3e3e80475cc463b5fc373f280d85b926</id>
<content type='text'>
The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
the mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap’s pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid.

Since its use in fs/cramfs is safe everywhere, it should be preferred.

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in fs/cramfs. Instead
of open-coding kmap_local_page() + memcpy(), use memcpy_from_page().

Since commit 67f9fd91f93c, the code to wait for the read to complete has
been dead.  That commit wrongly stated that the read was synchronous
already; this seems to have been a confusion about which -&gt;readpage
operation was being called.  Instead of reintroducing an asynchronous
version of read_mapping_page(), call the readahead code directly to
submit all reads first before waiting for them in read_mapping_page().

This is a "weak" conversion which converts straight back to using pages.
A full conversion should be performed at some point, hopefully by
someone familiar with the filesystem.

Use the proper helper to read the block device size.
