Would you drop your objections to the VMA flag if I drop the portions of the patch that expose it to userspace?
The rework to not use the VMA flag is pretty sizeable and is much more ugly IMO. I know that you are not wild about using bit 30 of 32 for this, but perhaps we can settle on not exporting it to userspace so we can reclaim it if we really need it in the future?
Yes, that would be definitely more acceptable for me. I do understand that you are not wild about changing mremap behavior.
