4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
FYI, this broke kdump, or rather the makedumpfile part thereof. Forward looking wreckage is par for the kdump course, but...
Is it also broken in Linus's tree with this patch? Or is there an add-on patch that I should apply to 4.14 to resolve this issue there?
This one http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1513932498-20350-1-git-send-email-bhe@redhat.com I guess.
That won't unbreak kdump, else master wouldn't be broken. I don't care deeply, or know if anyone else does, I'm just reporting it because I met it and chased it down.
OK, I didn't notice that d8cfbbfa0f7 ("mm/sparse.c: wrong allocation for mem_section") made it in after rc6. I am still wondering why 83e3c48729 ("mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y") made it into the stable tree in the first place.
It was part of the prep for the KTPI code from what I can tell. If you think it should be reverted, just let me know and I'll be glad to do so.
thanks,
