What happens when Vdrain is greater than Vsource in PMOS Transistor?

So as I understand, if Vsd = 0 in a pmos transistor, then the current flow should be zero, and the same goes for if Vs<Vd, now my question is, in what state will be the transistor i.e. cut-off, ...

Cheap, low-quality constant-current sink over wide voltage range

I'm looking for a cheap (as in: low component count, low PCB area, low component cost) way to put >= 1mA of load on a voltage that may be anything from 1.2 to 17 volts (minimum required load on a LDO ...
