The patch titled Subject: mm: make do_mmap_pgoff return populate as a size in bytes, not as a bool has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-make-do_mmap_pgoff-return-populate-as-a-size-in-bytes-not-as-a-bool.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: Michel Lespinasse <walken@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: make do_mmap_pgoff return populate as a size in bytes, not as a bool do_mmap_pgoff() rounds up the desired size to the next PAGE_SIZE multiple, however there was no equivalent code in mm_populate(), which caused issues. This could be fixed by introduced the same rounding in mm_populate(), however I think it's preferable to make do_mmap_pgoff() return populate as a size rather than as a boolean, so we don't have to duplicate the size rounding logic in mm_populate().
