I did mean to test for MAP_SHARED, thanks for the test.
I've made the check like this:

diff --git a/drivers/video/sbuslib.c b/drivers/video/sbuslib.c
index 646c43f..3a74a63 100644
--- a/drivers/video/sbuslib.c
+++ b/drivers/video/sbuslib.c
@@ -46,6 +46,9 @@ int sbusfb_mmap_helper(struct sbus_mmap_
unsigned long off;
int i;

+ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_SHARED | VM_MAYSHARE)))
+ return -EINVAL;
+
size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
if (vma->vm_pgoff > (~0UL >> PAGE_SHIFT))
return -EINVAL;
