The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From 32b2921e6a7461fe63b71217067a6cf4bddb132f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Vyukov Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 15:18:28 +0200 Subject: tty: limit terminal size to 4M chars Size of kmalloc() in vc_do_resize() is controlled by user. Too large kmalloc() size triggers WARNING message on console. Put a reasonable upper bound on terminal size to prevent WARNINGs.
