[PATCH] Allow to disable shmem.o

Subject: [PATCH] Allow to disable shmem.o
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 2004 00:14:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3vffulhou.fsf@averell.firstfloor.org> (raw)


This patch allows to not compile mm/shmem.o in. It is now dependent on
CONFIG_TMPFS, which is the main user. This allows shrinking the kernel
a bit more when needed. Disabling TMPFS disables the mmap
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_SHARED functionality now. That's ok, because Linux
2.2 also didn't have it iirc. To make sure this doesn't happen by
accident I made the TMPFS configuration dependent on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
This means a normal configuration enables TMPFS, which is ok 
since it is only minor additional overhead to shmem.o and also quite
useful for shared memory.

Patch for 2.6.7, but applies with some offsets to 2.6.8rc3
