[PATCH] mm: memfd_luo: add CONFIG_SHMEM dependency

From: Arnd Bergmann

Date: Thu Dec 04 2025 - 05:02:07 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

The new memfd code fails to link without SHMEM:

aarch64-linux-ld: mm/memfd_luo.o: in function `memfd_luo_retrieve_folios':
memfd_luo.c:(.text.memfd_luo_retrieve_folios+0xdc): undefined reference to `shmem_add_to_page_cache'
memfd_luo.c:(.text.memfd_luo_retrieve_folios+0x11c): undefined reference to `shmem_inode_acct_blocks'
memfd_luo.c:(.text.memfd_luo_retrieve_folios+0x134): undefined reference to `shmem_recalc_inode'

Add a Kconfig dependency to disallow that configuration.

Fixes: b3749f174d68 ("mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd")
