[PATCH] tmpfs: ZERO_RANGE and COLLAPSE_RANGE not currently supported

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Sun Jun 15 2014 - 21:29:42 EST


I was well aware of FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE
support being added to fallocate(); but didn't realize until now that
I had been too stupid to future-proof shmem_fallocate() against new
additions. -EOPNOTSUPP instead of going on to ordinary fallocation.
