Documentation/mm/shmfs.rst? I hadn't realized that such a file existed. tmpfs has been known as tmpfs since 2.4.4 (but a few people do still say shmfs, and I'd agree with them that shmfs would have been a better name). Please send a patch, either to delete shmfs.rst and its index entry, or to redirect its readers to Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.rst I haven't looked up the preferred way to redirect in Documentation: I expect Jon or Claude can assist you with that :-) Hugh ---1463770367-168415370-1773522078=:29478--
