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.
