Subject: [02/23] shmem: let shared anonymous be nonlinear again
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:55:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110325235636.672054980@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110325235654.GA24416@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: shmem-let-shared-anonymous-be-nonlinear-again.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1008 bytes --]

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>

commit bee4c36a5cf5c9f63ce1d7372aa62045fbd16d47 upstream.

Up to 2.6.22, you could use remap_file_pages(2) on a tmpfs file or a
shared mapping of /dev/zero or a shared anonymous mapping.  In 2.6.23 we
disabled it by default, but set VM_CAN_NONLINEAR to enable it on safe
mappings.  We made sure to set it in shmem_mmap() for tmpfs files, but
missed it in shmem_zero_setup() for the others.  Fix that at last.
