#1218087 — perf fails to mmap data file (JFFS2)

FromKenth Eriksson <kenth.eriksson@transmode.com>

Subjectperf fails to mmap data file (JFFS2)
Message-ID<q4xB8-5Ju-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
perf on 4.1 fails to mmap the perf data file (in __perf_session__process_events) with error code 22 (invalid argument). I believe the JFFS2 file system does not support  PROT_READ and MAP_SHARED. How can this be fixed? Can we change from MAP_SHARED to MAP_PRIVATE, or is there a reason to make it shared?

Thanks,
Kenth

MAP_PRIVATE should be fine.
