From ef1ff6b8c08954bc203b59e887d1e580dd91755a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "From: Mel Gorman" Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:56:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hugetlbfs: do not call user_shm_lock() for MAP_HUGETLB fix Commit 6bfde05bf5c ("hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs internal mount") altered can_do_hugetlb_shm() to check if a file is being created for shared memory or mmap(). If this returns false, we then unconditionally call user_shm_lock() triggering a warning. This block should never be entered for MAP_HUGETLB. This patch partially reverts the problem and fixes the check.
