So I did this and the strict fix got into Andrew's tree as mm-fix-potential-anon_vma-locking-issue-in-mprotect.patch Andrew: when you try applying this series, this patch (2/7) won't apply due to the strict fix being already there. Please just skip it (and replace patch 4/7 with the replacement I'm about to send, so that we end up with the same end state) -- Michel "Walken" Lespinasse A program is never fully debugged until the last user dies. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
