[06/70] mm/nommu.c: fix remap_pfn_range()

From: Greg KH
Date: Mon Aug 01 2011 - 19:25:52 EST


2.6.39-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bob Liu <lliubbo@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 8f3b1327aa454bc8283e96bca7669c3c88b83f79 upstream.

remap_pfn_range() means map physical address pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT to user addr.

For nommu arch it's implemented by vma->vm_start = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT which
is wrong acroding the original meaning of this function. And some driver
developer using remap_pfn_range() with correct parameter will get
unexpected result because vm_start is changed. It should be implementd
like addr = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT but which is meanless on nommu arch, this
patch just make it simply return.

Parameter name and setting of vma->vm_flags also be fixed.
