Patch series "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory", v4. The selftest started failing since commite93d2521b2("x86/vdso: Split virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping") was merged. While debugging I stumbled upon some memory usage optimizations. With these test now runs on a VM with only 60MiB of memory. This patch (of 4): When mapping a larger chunk than physical memory is available with PROT_WRITE and overcommit is disabled, the mapping will fail. This will prevent the test from running on systems with less then ~1GiB of memory and triggering an inscrutinable test failure. As the mappings are never written to anyways, the flag can be removed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
