Subject: [merged mm-stable] proc-kcore-do-not-try-to-access-unaccepted-memory.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2023 13:18:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231004201857.68B8FC433C9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: proc/kcore: do not try to access unaccepted memory
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     proc-kcore-do-not-try-to-access-unaccepted-memory.patch

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

Subject: proc/kcore: do not try to access unaccepted memory
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 14:21:14 +0300

Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual
machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not try to access unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to
fail.

For /proc/kcore, which is read-only and does not support mmap, this means a
read of unaccepted memory will return zeros.
