[PATCH 1/6] mmap: don't assume f_op->mmap() doesn't change vma->vm_file

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Nov 20 2008 - 10:02:39 EST


mmap_region() assumes that vma->vm_file isn't changed by f_op->mmap()
and continues to use cache file after f_op->mmap() returns. Don't
assume that. This will be used by FUSE to redirect mmap to
shmem_file.
