The patch titled shmem: let shared anonymous be nonlinear again has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was shmem-let-shared-anonymous-be-nonlinear-again.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: shmem: let shared anonymous be nonlinear again From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
