From b7bff988d515da71d9a20e186ce0140f6f756b5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:33:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] shmem: let shared anonymous be nonlinear again 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.
