As the mman manual says, mmap should return fails when we assign
the flags to MAP_SHARED | MAP_PRIVATE.

But In fact, We run the code successfully and unexpected.
It is because MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE is introduced and equal to
MAP_SHARED | MAP_PRIVATE.

What is the code that you are running and what is the code version.

This was a deliberate decision IIRC. Have a look at 1c9725974074 ("mm:
introduce MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to safely define new mmap
flags").

Just an following code, For example,
addr = mmap(ADDR, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED|MAP_PRIVATE, fildes, OFFSET);

We test it and works well in linux 4.19.   As the mmap manual says,  it should fails.

I  has seen the patch,  It introduce the issue.  but it only define the MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE incorrectly.
Maybe the author miss the condition that MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE is equal to MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_SHARE.

No, you don't understand.  Look back at the introduction of
MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE.

Is this a real code that relies on the failure or merely a simple test
to reflect the semantic you expect mmap to have?

No you are missing the point as Willy pointed out in a different email.
This is intentional. No real application could have used the combination
of two flags because it doesn't make any sense. And therefore the
combination has been chosen to chnage the mmap semantic and check for
valid mapping flags. LWN has a nice coverage[1].

Thanks you for pointing out.   I will look at the patch deeply.
