Sorry for the delay, it's been on my mind but only now I get to it.
Yes, that was agreed at LSF, and I've checked that indeed tmpfs is
out of line here: thank you for fixing it. But I do prefer your
original more explicit description, so I'll send the patch to akpm
now for v4.2, with that description instead (plus a reference to LSF).
Thanks,
Hugh
