3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Bob Liu <[email protected]> commit fea9f718b3d68147f162ed2d870183ce5e0ad8d8 upstream. There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU: 1. create a new file 2. mmap the file and write to it 3. read the file can't get the correct value Because sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page() which causes the page to be zeroed. Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().
