From 1b79cd04fab80be61dcd2732e2423aafde9a4c1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Junjiro R. Okajima" Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2008 10:31:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash fix #2 The previous patch from Alan Cox ("nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash", commit 731572d39fcd3498702eda4600db4c43d51e0b26) fixed the problem where knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs objects and strict overcommit is set. But the patch forgot supporting the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is disabled. This patch copies a part of his fix which is mainly for detecting a bug earlier.
