Subject: [PATCH 103/173] shmem: let shared anonymous be nonlinear again
2.6.27.59-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@...gle.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.
