Hello,

In order to resolve CVE-2023-23005 in kernel v6.1 stable tree, I would like to request cherry-picking the below commit:

mm/demotion: fix NULL vs IS_ERR checking in memory_tier_init (4a625ce)

This "fix" can never actually be hit in a real system, right?

So it would seem that this CVE is invalid, please work to invalidate it with whatever group creates such bogus claims.

thanks,
