Bitten by this again. Behaviour blames back to at least 2005 (so
probably original to shmem.c), documented upstream in tmpfs.txt.
(I've been bitten by this too!)
This is a bit unclear to me. I guess you refer to the Linux kernel as
"upstream", but the Linux kernel repository doesn't have a tmpfs.txt
file. I recall that they moved their .txt docs to .rst, so would you
please share the full link to the .txt file that you refer? That way
you can ask git(1) to show the history of that file even if it doesn't
exist now.
You can ask git for history of tmpfs.txt even if you don't know the
exact location, although admittedly it's pretty slow:
$ git log --oneline -1 '**/tmpfs.txt'
7e7cd458b810 docs: filesystems: convert tmpfs.txt to ReST
$ git show --oneline --stat 7e7cd458b810
7e7cd458b810 docs: filesystems: convert tmpfs.txt to ReST
