[PATCH] Fix for shmem_truncate_range() BUG_ON()
Ran into BUG() while doing madvise(REMOVE) testing. If we are punching a hole into shared memory segment using madvise(REMOVE) and the entire hole is below the indirect blocks, we hit following assert. BUG_ON(limit <= SHMEM_NR_DIRECT); Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
