No, I didn't really hit that case (I didn't even have CONFIG_NUMA=y),
it was just one of the several misguesses I made before hitting on the
right answer.
I can understand you preferring to keep a check on this, but I don't
believe you really want to retain _that_ check: it just causes some
mmaps to fail on CONFIG_NUMA=y configurations, which succeed on
non-NUMA configurations, and work fine on non-NUMA configurations,
so long as you don't try set_policy, get_policy or migrate.
Here's a replacement version of the patch which adds those methods,
and adds a comment on the substituted vm_file as Ben suggests.
[PATCH next] sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errors
Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a
"sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next
crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way
powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting
a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer
(substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails).
The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in
that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch
over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed.
But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:-
It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying
page_mkwrite().
Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops
_before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops.
If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap
on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy:
provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

I have only tested that X now starts up fine on the G5: I don't think
I've messed up the intent of your patch, but not tested it still works.
