Hi all,

Thanks, Lorenzo, for the feedback and support.

The consensus from the discussion appears to be:

• Drop this patch keeping the existing check lenient, but make it more

obvious and clear that this is the intended behavior.

• Keep the vma_count_remaining() or another helper and abstracts away

the direct use of the global sysctl_max_map_count.

• Keep the rename of map_count to vma_count
• Keep the selftest and tracepoint patches, which are important for

documenting the behavior and providing observability.

If there are no objections, I'll plan to send out a new version of the series.

Thanks, Kalesh

Ack, sounds good!
