[PATCH 1/6] NOMMU: Fix SYSV SHM for NOMMU
Commit c4caa778157dbbf04116f0ac2111e389b5cd7a29 broke SYSV SHM for NOMMU by taking away the pointer to shm_get_unmapped_area() from shm_file_operations. Put it back conditionally on CONFIG_MMU=n. file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area() is used to find out the base address for a mapping of a mappable chardev device or ... 8 Jan 2010 17:18
