Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Teach copy_insn() to support tmpfs
Date: Mon, 19 May 2014 20:41:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140519184136.GB6750@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140519184054.GA6750@redhat.com>

tmpfs is widely used but as Denys reports shmem_aops doesn't have
->readpage() and thus you can't probe a binary on this filesystem.

As Hugh suggested we can use shmem_read_mapping_page() in this case,
just we need to check shmem_mapping() if ->readpage == NULL.
