[LTP] [PATCH] open_posix_testsuite/mmap_11-4: Skip this test on tmpfs

[Xiao Yang]

According to mmap(2) manpage, when you write data to such partial
page after the end of the object, the data stays in the page cache
even after the file is closed and unmapped, subsequent mappings
always see the modified content on tmpfs.  We just skip this test
when running it on tmpfs.

Thanks for your patch, pushed.

I don't like redefinition of TMPFS_MAGIC, but I didn't change it as openposix
subproject don't use include directory from root and therefore we can't use
TST_TMPFS_MAGIC from tst_fs.h. And I didn't add include of <linux/magic.h>
due the same inaccessibility of config.h.
Maybe it'd make sense to make access for some of the headers from include
directory.


Kind regards,
Petr
