From: Nick Piggin Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2008 21:50:16 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm: tiny-shmem nommu fix X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4b19de6d1cb07c8bcb6778e771f9cfd5bcfdfd3e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm: tiny-shmem nommu fix The previous patch db203d53d474aa068984e409d807628f5841da1b ("mm: tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace). However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it taking i_mutex. In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.
