If not, the allocation fails without even attempting to get a page. In order to determine whether to apply this check we call vma_has_private_reserves() which tells us if this vma is MAP_PRIVATE and is the owner. This incorrectly triggers the remaining reservation test for MAP_SHARED mappings which prevents allocation of the final page in the pool even though it is reserved for this mapping. In reality we only want to check this for MAP_PRIVATE mappings where the process is not the original mapper. Replace vma_has_private_reserves() with vma_has_reserves() which indicates whether further reserves are required, and update the caller.
