[PATCH -mm] splice: Disable vmsplice on nommu.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The vmsplice rework in -mm breaks nommu:

fs/built-in.o: In function `splice_setup_vma':
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `may_expand_vm'
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `protection_map'
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `insert_vm_struct'
fs/splice.c:1272: undefined reference to `vm_stat_account'

This is going to be non-trivial to wire up properly on nommu, and
it's debateable whether there's even any point in trying. For now,
disable vmsplice if CONFIG_MMU=n and wire it up as a cond syscall
for the platforms that support both.
