2 * tiny-shmem.c: simple shmemfs and tmpfs using ramfs code
4 * Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> January, 2004
5 * derived from mm/shmem.c and fs/ramfs/inode.c
7 * This is intended for small system where the benefits of the full
8 * shmem code (swap-backed and resource-limited) are outweighed by
9 * their complexity. On systems without swap this code should be
10 * effectively equivalent, but much lighter weight.
