From 5da6185bca064e35aa73a7c1f27488d2b96434f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:50:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: Set BDI capabilities for /dev/mem and /dev/kmem Set the backing device info capabilities for /dev/mem and /dev/kmem to permit direct sharing under no-MMU conditions and full mapping capabilities under MMU conditions. Make the BDI used by these available to all directly mappable character devices. Also comment the capabilities for /dev/zero.
