Fix for shmem_truncate_range() BUG_ON()
Ran into BUG() while doing madvise(REMOVE) testing. If we are punching a hole into shared memory segment using madvise(REMOVE) and the entire hole is below the indirect blocks, we hit following assert. BUG_ON(limit <= SHMEM_NR_DIRECT); Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
