Joel Fernandes (Google) 2e53c4e1c8 memfd: add test for COW on MAP_PRIVATE and F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE mappings
In this test, the parent and child both have writable private mappings.
The test shows that without the patch in this series, the parent and
child shared the same memory which is incorrect.  In other words, COW
needs to be triggered so any writes to child's copy stays local to the
child.

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 Restructured Text 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.
