Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org gup: avoid stack expansion warning for known-good case
I am a bit puzzled by this patch. It avoids a warning introduced with upstream commit a425ac5365f6 ("gup: add warning if some caller would seem to want stack expansion"), or at least it says so, but that patch is not in v6.1.y. Why is this patch needed here ?
It isn't, and was dropped for -rc2, right?
The above is from the -rc2 log so, no, it was not dropped. I checked in the repository to be sure. It is also in v6.3.12-rc2 and v6.4.2-rc2, but there it makes sense because a425ac5365f6 was applied/backported to those branches.
Thanks, Guenter
