[merged mm-nonmm-stable] init-handle-bootloader-identifier-in-kernel-parameters.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: init: handle bootloader identifier in kernel parameters has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was init-handle-bootloader-identifier-in-kernel-parameters.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai(a)loongson.cn> Subject: init: handle bootloader identifier in kernel parameters Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 18:13:43 +0800 BootLoaders (Grub, LILO, etc) may pass an identifier such as "BOOT_IMAGE= /boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z" to kernel parameters. But these identifiers are not recognized by the kernel itself so will be passed to userspace. However user space init program also don't recognize it. KEXEC/KDUMP (kexec-tools) may also pass an identifier such as "kexec" on some architectures. We cannot change BootLoader's behavior, because this behavior exists for many years, and there are already user space programs search BOOT_IMAGE= in /proc/cmdline to obtain the kernel image locations: https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/util.go (search getBootOptions) https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/main.go (search getKernelReleaseWithBootOption) So the the best way is handle (ignore) it by the kernel itself, which can avoid such boot warnings (if we use something like init=/bin/bash, bootloader identifier can even cause a crash): Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x", will be passed to user space.

Hi The IPQ50xx chip integrates only a 2x2 2.4GHz Wi-Fi module. Through the high-performance NSS core and PCIe expansion and integration the application range of the IPQ50xx chip ranges from Wi-Fi mesh node to Enterprise AP. OEM manufacturers can think in a unified way when doing circuit design and PCB layout, and the same packaging can really save designers a lot of trouble. .# Part Number Manufacturer Date Code Quantity Unit Price Lead Time Condition (PCS) USD/Each one 1 IPQ-5018-0-MRQFN232-TR-01-0 QUALCOMM 2022+ 30000pcs US$3.50/pcs 7days New & original - stock 2 QCN-6102-0-DRQFN116-TR-01-1 QUALCOMM 2022+ 30000pcs US$2.50/pcs 3 QCN-9024-0-MSP234-TR-01-0 QUALCOMM 2022+ 5000pcs US$3.50/pcs 4 QCN-6112-0-DRQFN116-TR-01-0 QUALCOMM 2023+ 15000pcs US$2.70/pcs 5 QCA-8337-AL3C-R QUALCOMM 2023+ 20000pcs US$1.30/pcs The above are our company's current inventory, all of which are genuine and original packaging.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] zram-fix-slot-write-race-condition.patch removed from -mm tree

The quilt patch titled Subject: zram: fix slot write race condition has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was zram-fix-slot-write-race-condition.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 ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky(a)chromium.org> Subject: zram: fix slot write race condition Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 13:48:35 +0900 Parallel concurrent writes to the same zram index result in leaked zsmalloc handles. Schematically we can have something like this: CPU0 CPU1 zram_slot_lock() zs_free(handle) zram_slot_lock() zram_slot_lock() zs_free(handle) zram_slot_lock() compress compress handle = zs_malloc() handle = zs_malloc() zram_slot_lock zram_set_handle(handle) zram_slot_lock zram_slot_lock zram_set_handle(handle) zram_slot_lock Either CPU0 or CPU1 zsmalloc handle will leak because zs_free() is done too early. In fact, we need to reset zram entry right before we set its new handle, all under the same slot lock scope.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-hugetlb-fix-copy_hugetlb_page_range-to-use-pt_share_count.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to use ->pt_share_count has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlb-fix-copy_hugetlb_page_range-to-use-pt_share_count.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 ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jane Chu <jane.chu(a)oracle.com> Subject: mm/hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to use ->pt_share_count Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 12:43:57 -0600 commit 59d9094df3d79 ("mm: hugetlb: independent PMD page table shared count") introduced ->pt_share_count dedicated to hugetlb PMD share count tracking, but omitted fixing copy_hugetlb_page_range(), leaving the function relying on page_count() for tracking that no longer works. When lazy page table copy for hugetlb is disabled, that is, revert commit bcd51a3c679d ("hugetlb: lazy page table copies in fork()") fork()'ing with hugetlb PMD sharing quickly lockup - [ 239.446559] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#75 stuck for 27s!

This patch opts for the second option.
