Hi,
I am using uclinux 2.4.x on coldfire 5272 platform, and seems the share
memory IPC is not working,
shmget() will always return -1. then I found the tmpfs is not available even
with the setting CONFIG_TMPFS=y.
then I looked at the main makefile for uclinux 2.4.x, it builds the mmnommu
directory instead of mm direcotry
where shmem.c is sitting in.
my questions are:
   1. does uclinux 2.4.x support tmpfs at all? seems the answer is no, based
on this article by David McCullough:
       http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7221
   2. is there any patch to support share memory IPC under uclinux 2.4.x?
seems there is mm/tiny-shmem.c in
       uclinux 2.6.x to redirect share memory IPC calls to tmpfs to ramfs,
see this article:

Thanks for any information,
Bin
