Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/urgent for 7.4-rc4
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 15:53:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260913225356.1033865-1-dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Hi Linus,
Please pull some x86/urgent changes for 7.4-rc4.
The MADV_FREE one is notable for silently losing user data and having
been around for a couple of years. The main explanation I'd have for
its longevity is that it requires a few different things to align at
the same time: MADV_FREE, THP and heavy reclaim.
There's also a good set of x86/mm fixes from Lorenzo and company.
They look somewhat theoretical at first but they have actually been
hampering folks' ability mm work in the area.
The following changes since commit d2929113b15bfc06793b852aeba3d2db6d79fcc9:
x86/MCE/AMD: Fix inverted interrupt enablement during storm handling (2026-09-08 09:16:32 +0200)
