Is that a placeholder for later in the series? Because as it is, it makes no sense whatsoever - "it can be mmapped, but any access to the mapped area will segfault". > +struct inode *dmemfs_get_inode(struct super_block *sb, > + const struct inode *dir, umode_t mode, dev_t dev) > +{ > + struct inode *inode = new_inode(sb); > + > + if (inode) { > + inode->i_ino = get_next_ino(); > + inode_init_owner(inode, dir, mode); > + inode->i_mapping->a_ops = &empty_aops; > + mapping_set_gfp_mask(inode->i_mapping, GFP_HIGHUSER); > + mapping_set_unevictable(inode->i_mapping); > + inode->i_atime = inode->i_mtime = inode->i_ctime = current_time(inode); > + switch (mode & S_IFMT) { > + default: > + init_special_inode(inode, mode, dev); > + break; > + case S_IFREG: > + inode->i_op = &dmemfs_file_inode_operations; > + inode->i_fop = &dmemfs_file_operations; > + break; > + case S_IFDIR: > + inode->i_op = &dmemfs_dir_inode_operations; > + inode->i_fop = &simple_dir_operations; > + > + /* > + * directory inodes start off with i_nlink == 2 > + * (for "." entry) > + */ > + inc_nlink(inode); > + break; > + case S_IFLNK: > + inode->i_op = &page_symlink_inode_operations; > + break; Where would symlinks come from? Or anything other than regular files and directories, for that matter...
