Yes, there remains difference on no-mmu that if mmap is not defined, mmap() now returns
EIO, it should return ENODEV.

In mm/nommu.c,

/* eliminate any capabilities that we can't support on this
* device */
if (!file->f_op->get_unmapped_area)
capabilities &= ~BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT;

and

*/
if (capabilities & BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT) {
addr = file->f_op->get_unmapped_area(file, addr, len,
pgoff, flags);
if (IS_ERR_VALUE(addr)) {
ret = addr;
if (ret != -ENOSYS)
goto error_just_free;

/* the driver refused to tell us where to site
* the mapping so we'll have to attempt to copy
* it */
ret = -ENODEV;
if (!(capabilities & BDI_CAP_MAP_COPY))
goto error_just_free;

capabilities &= ~BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT;
} else {
vma->vm_start = region->vm_start = addr;
vma->vm_end = region->vm_end = addr + len;
}
}

So, how about let proc_reg_get_unmapped_area() return ENOSYS, not EIO?

Thanks.
