Will Deacon 7d8a45695c ipc: shm: restore MADV_REMOVE functionality on shared memory segments ... Commit 17cf28afea ("mm/fs: remove truncate_range") removed the truncate_range inode operation in favour of the fallocate file operation. When using SYSV IPC shared memory segments, calling madvise with the MADV_REMOVE advice on an area of shared memory will attempt to invoke the .fallocate function for the shm_file_operations, which is NULL and therefore returns -EOPNOTSUPP to userspace. The previous behaviour would inherit the inode_operations from the underlying tmpfs file and invoke truncate_range there. This patch restores the previous behaviour by wrapping the underlying fallocate function in shm_fallocate, as we do for fsync.
