The patch hugetlbfs-allow-the-creation-of-files-suitable-for-map_private-on-the-vfs-internal-mount.patch alters can_do_hugetlb_shm() to check if a file is being created for shared memory or mmap(). If this returns false, we then unconditionally call user_shm_lock() triggering a warning. This block should never be entered for MAP_HUGETLB. This patch partially reverts the problem and fixes the check. This patch should be considered a fix to hugetlbfs-allow-the-creation-of-files-suitable-for-map_private-on-the-vfs-internal-mount.patch.
