Subject: [merged mm-nonmm-stable] lib-zlib-dfltcc-always-switch-to-software-inflate-for-z_packet_flush-option.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2023 22:51:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230203065130.DAC5EC4339C@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: lib/zlib: DFLTCC always switch to software inflate for Z_PACKET_FLUSH option
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-zlib-dfltcc-always-switch-to-software-inflate-for-z_packet_flush-option.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: lib/zlib: DFLTCC always switch to software inflate for Z_PACKET_FLUSH option
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:14:28 +0100

Since hardware inflate does not support Z_PACKET_FLUSH option (used
exclusively by kernel PPP driver), always switch to software like we
already do for Z_BLOCK flush option.  Without this patch, PPP might get
Z_DATA_ERROR return code from zlib_inflate() and disable zlib compression
for the packets.
