Makes sense, is anyone going to send reverts for these? I'll drop them from my "to review" stable queues, that includes the following: mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr in repeat_call_fn mm/damon/sysfs: fix param_ctx leak on damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() failure mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr before accessing contexts_arr[0] lib/ts_bm: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation lib/ts_kmp: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation thanks, greg k-h
