I think you deserve some special award for finding and fixing such an ancient bug/inconsistency - dating back to early v2.4 it seems. But only affecting 32-bit; and since we've happily lived with it so long, and the fix does change behaviour for userspace, better not to Cc stable. There are some other filesystems still behaving as tmpfs was (ramfs, hugetlbfsi, and I didn't look further); but we do make more of an effort to keep tmpfs in line with the major filesystems - thank you. > --- > mm/shmem.c | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/mm/shmem.c b/mm/shmem.c > index 42e5888bf84d..902c5550fabc 100644 > --- a/mm/shmem.c > +++ b/mm/shmem.c > @@ -3876,6 +3876,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(shmem_aops); > > static const struct file_operations shmem_file_operations = { > .mmap = shmem_mmap, > + .open = generic_file_open, > .get_unmapped_area = shmem_get_unmapped_area, > #ifdef CONFIG_TMPFS > .llseek = shmem_file_llseek, > > base-commit: f76349cf41451c5c42a99f18a9163377e4b364ff > -- > 2.37.3

That was my feeling, too. > There are some other filesystems still behaving as tmpfs was (ramfs, > hugetlbfsi, and I didn't look further); but we do make more of an effort > to keep tmpfs in line with the major filesystems - thank you. NFS seems also to be affected, which I think warrants a fix. My plan was to wait for the feedback to this patch and if it works out to then submit patches for NFS as validating that will be a bit more involved. > > --- > > mm/shmem.c | 1 + > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > > > diff --git a/mm/shmem.c b/mm/shmem.c > > index 42e5888bf84d..902c5550fabc 100644 > > --- a/mm/shmem.c > > +++ b/mm/shmem.c > > @@ -3876,6 +3876,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(shmem_aops); > > > > static const struct file_operations shmem_file_operations = { > > .mmap = shmem_mmap, > > + .open = generic_file_open, > > .get_unmapped_area = shmem_get_unmapped_area, > > #ifdef CONFIG_TMPFS > > .llseek = shmem_file_llseek, > > > > base-commit: f76349cf41451c5c42a99f18a9163377e4b364ff > > -- > > 2.37.3
