Subject: [PATCH -mm] splice: Disable vmsplice on nommu.
Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:23:07 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070911082307.GB19495@linux-sh.org> (raw)
The vmsplice rework in -mm breaks nommu:
fs/built-in.o: In function `splice_setup_vma':
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `may_expand_vm'
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `protection_map'
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `insert_vm_struct'
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `vm_stat_account'
This is going to be non-trivial to wire up properly on nommu, and
it's debateable whether there's even any point in trying. For now,
disable vmsplice if CONFIG_MMU=n and wire it up as a cond syscall
for the platforms that support both.
