Its filename is mm-nommu-share-the-i_mmap_rwsem.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-nommu-share-the-i_mmap_rwsem.patch echo and later at echo http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-nommu-share-the-i_mmap_rwsem.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/nommu: share the i_mmap_rwsem Shrinking/truncate logic can call nommu_shrink_inode_mappings() to verify that any shared mappings of the inode in question aren't broken (dead zone). afaict the only user being ramfs to handle the size change attribute. Pretty much a no-brainer to share the lock. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: Kirill A.
