Subject[PATCH] msync writing when MS_INVALIDATE set and memory locked

For msync, SUSv2 states that it will fail if:

"[EBUSY] Some or all of the addresses in the range starting at addr
and continuing for len bytes are locked, and MS_INVALIDATE is
specified."

This check isn't being done. The following patch (against 2.4.19pre4)
adds the correct behaviour:

--- linux-2.4.18/mm/filemap.c~ Thu Mar 21 16:04:48 2002
+++ linux-2.4.18/mm/filemap.c Fri Mar 22 15:48:40 2002

int ret = 0;

ret = filemap_sync(vma, start, end-start, flags);
