Hugh Dickins f8005451d7 tmpfs: change shmem_mapping() to test shmem_aops
Callers of shmem_mapping() are interested in whether the mapping is swap
backed - except for uprobes, which is interested in whether it should
use shmem_read_mapping_page().  All these callers are better served by a
shmem_mapping() which checks for shmem_aops, than the current version
which goes through several indirections to find where the inode lives -
and has the surprising effect that a private mmap of /dev/zero satisfies
both vma_is_anonymous() and shmem_mapping(), when that device node is on
devtmpfs.  I don't think anything in the tree suffers from that
surprise, but it caught me out, and is better fixed.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
