Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-vmalloc-support-more-granular-vrealloc-sizing.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Wed, 07 May 2025 23:41:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250508064101.825FBC4CEEB@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: vmalloc: support more granular vrealloc() sizing
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-vmalloc-support-more-granular-vrealloc-sizing.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: vmalloc: support more granular vrealloc() sizing
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 17:11:07 -0700
Introduce struct vm_struct::requested_size so that the requested
(re)allocation size is retained separately from the allocated area size.
This means that KASAN will correctly poison the correct spans of requested
bytes. This also means we can support growing the usable portion of an
allocation that can already be supported by the existing area's existing
allocation.
