Subject: mm: introduce linear_anon_page_index()
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:21:28 +0100

This function provides the anonymous equivalent of linear_page_index(),
instead offsetting based on the anonymous page offset of the VMA.

It is valid only for anonymous or MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings, in
other words CoW mappings.

For pure anon VMAs, this will be equal to linear_page_index().

Assert that both of these invariants are true in linear_anon_page_index()
and implement the algorithm in __linear_anon_page_index().

Note that MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero mappings will satisfy vma_is_anonymous()
but not fulfill this invariant, so when asserting this we check
vma->vm_file to account for this.

We do not update callsites yet, so no functional change intended.

Also const-ify vma_is_anonymous() to make it compatible with the
const-ified linear_anon_page_index().

While we're here, update linear_page_index() to be more succinct.

VMA userland tests are also updated accordingly.
