  • romfs_get_unmapped_area() checks argument `len' without considering
    PAGE_ALIGN which will cause do_mmap_pgoff() return -EINVAL error after
    commit f67d9b1576c ("nommu: add page_align to mmap").

    Fix the check by changing it in same way ramfs_nommu_get_unmapped_area()
    was changed in ramfs/file-nommu.c.

  • Change RomFS so that it can use MTD devices directly - without the intercession
    of the block layer - as well as using block devices.

    This permits RomFS:

    (1) to use the MTD direct mapping facility available under NOMMU conditions if
    the underlying device is directly accessible by the CPU (including XIP);

    (2) and thus to be used when the block layer is disabled.

    RomFS can be configured with support just for MTD devices, just for Block
    devices or for both. If RomFS is configured for both, then it will treat
    mtdblock device files as MTD backing stores, not block layer backing stores.

    I tested this using a CONFIG_MMU=n CONFIG_BLOCK=n kernel running on my FRV
    board with a RomFS image installed on the mtdram test device. I see my test
    program being run XIP:

    # cat /proc/maps
    ...
    c0c000b0-c0c01f8c r-xs 00000000 1f:00 144 /mnt/doshm
    ...

    GDB on the kernel can be used to show that these addresses are within the
    set-aside RAM space.
