Are you sure this patch compiles? vmfile_fops is overrided few lines below

odd checkpatch.pl warning...




With regards,
Pavel Skripkin

Thank you,yes vmfile_fops is overrided in below code.
Building the kernel - make -j4,
drivers/staging/android/ashmem.c: In function ‘ashmem_mmap’:
drivers/staging/android/ashmem.c:431:16: error: assignment of read-only

As always, it is expected that when you submit a change to the kernel,
at the very least you have test-built it to ensure that it does not
break the build.  Please remember to do this next time.

thanks,

greg k-h


Thank you, I will do that.
