Currently this is fine, such a mapping doesn't really differ from the private read-only mmap except mprotect(PROT_WRITE) won't work. However, get_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_FORCE) doesn't allow to COW in this case, and it would be safer to follow the same conventions as mm even if currently this happens to work. After the recent cda540ace6a1 "mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse to COW in shared areas" only uprobes can insert an anon page into the shared file-backed area, lets stop this and change valid_vma() to check VM_MAYSHARE instead.
