Hi,

        While documenting the do_mmap_pgoff() function, i found this
snippet of code very suspicious:

        /* Private writable mapping? Check memory availability.. */
                if ((vm_flags & (VM_SHARED | VM_WRITE)) == VM_WRITE &&
                                           !(flags & MAP_NORESERVE) &&
                                  !vm_enough_memory(len >> PAGE_SHIFT))
                        return -ENOMEM;
                                                                                         
        Here we need to quit if *any* one of the condition is true. So I
think it should be "||" instead of "&&". As according to the present
code, it quits only if all the 3 conditions is true, which is wrong.

                                        Bye,
                                                Abhi.
