Its filename was uprobes-remove-vm_io-set-vm_mixedmap-for-mapped-kernel-pages.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" Subject: uprobes: remove VM_IO, set VM_MIXEDMAP for mapped kernel pages Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2026 17:32:52 +0100 These are not MMIO pages so VMA_IO_BIT is an inappropriate flag to set. Instead, set them VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT as they are kernel mappings and this is the appropriate flag to set for those. This provides the semantics required - no VMA merging is permitted, but does not prevent GUP. However this has no meaningful impact as these are refcounted and thus can be GUPed. A previous commit already prevented __mm_populate() from being invoked on XOL areas, which VMA_IO_BIT was previously relied upon to do, so that is no longer required. Both VMAs set a VMA name, so always_dump_vma() returns true before vma_dump_size() reaches its VMA_IO_BIT check, and thus there is no change in core dump behaviour. Change this for both the core xol_add_vma() function and the x86-specific get_uprobe_trampoline() function.
