Subject: [PATCH] tmpfs: Restore functionality of nr_inodes=0

Commit e809d5f0b5c9 ("tmpfs: per-superblock i_ino support") made changes to
shmem_reserve_inode() in mm/shmem.c, however the original test for
(sbinfo->max_inodes) got dropped. This causes mounting tmpfs with option
nr_inodes=0 to fail:

# mount -ttmpfs -onr_inodes=0 none /ext0
mount: /ext0: mount(2) system call failed: Cannot allocate memory.

This patch restores the nr_inodes=0 functionality.

Fixes: e809d5f0b5c9 ("tmpfs: per-superblock i_ino support")

Yikes, thank you Byron, very bad of me not to have spotted that:

Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <[email protected]>

I've taken a quick look to see how I missed it: yes, I'd compared
against my own tree, knew I had to come back here sometime to replace
the SB_KERNMOUNT test by a max_inodes test like I had, to restore the
performance of nr_inodes=0; but thought the SB_KERNMOUNT test was good
enough for now - without realizing the effect on the code below it. The
error does seem to be localized just to this block, yes. Many thanks.

Thanks, good catch.
