[PATCH] ipc: shm: restore MADV_REMOVE functionality on shared memory segments

[Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>]

Commit 17cf28af ("mm/fs: remove truncate_range") removed the
truncate_range inode operation in favour of the fallocate file
operation.

When using SYSV IPC shared memory segments, calling madvise with the
MADV_REMOVE advice on an area of shared memory will attempt to invoke
the .fallocate function for the shm_file_operations, which is NULL and
therefore returns -EOPNOTSUPP to userspace. The previous behaviour would
inherit the inode_operations from the underlying tmpfs file and invoke
truncate_range there.

This patch restores the previous behaviour by wrapping the underlying
fallocate function in shm_fallocate, as we do for fsync.
