+ * compat_vma_mmap_prepare() - Apply the file's .mmap_prepare() hook to an
+ * existing VMA
+ * @file: The file which possesss an f_op->mmap_prepare() hook
+ * @vma: The VMA to apply the .mmap_prepare() hook to.
+ *
+ * Ordinarily, .mmap_prepare() is invoked directly upon mmap(). However, certain
+ * 'wrapper' file systems invoke a nested mmap hook of an underlying file.
+ *
+ * Until all filesystems are converted to use .mmap_prepare(), we must be
+ * conservative and continue to invoke these 'wrapper' filesystems using the
+ * deprecated .mmap() hook.
+ *
+ * However we have a problem if the underlying file system possesses an
+ * .mmap_prepare() hook, as we are in a different context when we invoke the
+ * .mmap() hook, already having a VMA to deal with.
+ *
+ * compat_vma_mmap_prepare() is a compatibility function that takes VMA state,
+ * establishes a struct vm_area_desc descriptor, passes to the underlying
+ * .mmap_prepare() hook and applies any changes performed by it.
+ *
+ * Once the conversion of filesystems is complete this function will no longer
+ * be required and will be removed.
+ *
+ * Returns: 0 on success or error.
