The patch titled
     Subject: fs: ramfs: file-nommu: add SetPageUptodate()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fs-ramfs-file-nommu-add-setpageuptodate.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Bob Liu <lliubbo@gmail.com>
Subject: fs: ramfs: file-nommu: add SetPageUptodate()

There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU:

1. create a new file
2. mmap the file and write to it
3. read the file can't get the correct value

Because
sys_read() > generic_file_aio_read() > simple_readpage() > clear_page()
which make the page be zeroed.

Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that
generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().
